Religious Awareness

The Religious Awareness Affinity Group consists of members who are religious or spiritual minorities, as well as allies. We work to provide accommodations for religious or spiritual practices, as well as increasing the awareness of holidays and other important events in a Christian-dominated system.

Our Projects

Holiday Social Media Posts

The Holiday Social Media post project is a system that fulfills religious representation to everyone. We strive to ensure that as many religions as possible are celebrated and recognized. Social media is a huge factor in how students spread awareness and self-educate. By utilizing this important tool, we are able to hear how minority religious students in the Issaquah School District celebrate their holidays. After many students’ holidays have been ignored and suppressed, our mission is to guarantee that everyone has a voice.

 

The holiday social media post system was generated to make sure that everyone, no matter their faith, is celebrated and recognized. By utilizing social media to access as many students in the ISD as possible, we are able to get student input on their religious celebrations. After years of having their important holidays swept under the rough or ignored, we want religious minorities to be seen. Some of the holidays we have recognized include Samhain, Navaratri, and Hanukkah.
