vIn the Jewish culture, a holiday called Hanukkah will be celebrated from Sunday December 14th through sunset on December 22nd this year. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish celebration. It is observed by lighting candles on a candle holder called a Menorah—one for each day of the festival. Other Hanukkah festivities include playing dreidel and eating oil-based foods such as latkes (potato pancakes).

Marlins, this week we’re asking how many days are celebrated during the Festival of Lights? Place one answer slip in a Cultural Corner box by the end of the school day this Thursday for your chance to win a prize. Your Student Council members will select 1 primary and 1 upper grade student from a raffle during Friday morning announcements.
