Islamic Heritage Month, designated for January each year in New Jersey, was established following Governor Phil Murphy’s signing of a joint resolution (SJR105/AJR194) on April 29, 2023. It recognizes the diverse contributions of Muslim Americans to arts, culture, education, politics, and science. It also aims to foster greater understanding and unity by highlighting Islamic traditions and the role of Muslim Americans in building communities.
Hillside Public Schools District stands with our diverse community to recognize, celebrate, and educate on our Muslim community's rich culture and cultural importance. We must all strive to foster understanding, appreciation, and unity in our community and highlight the tapestry of Muslim heritage within. Through collaboration and engagement, we aim to build bridges of mutual respect, breaking down stereotypes and promoting a more inclusive and interconnected society.
Hillside Public Schools District stands united with our families, cultures, and heritage, making our community unique and proud!
