September 29th eve is also Jewish holiday (although less popular?) - Sukkot.
Also - what a horrible idea having it on any Friday night. Our school always does it either on Tues/Wed/Thurs.

You're right. Montgomery County maintains a Days of Commemoration list. Schools would be wise to check this when scheduling events.

What is wrong with this principal ?? She is pressured to cancel BTSN on one Jewish holiday so she scheduled for another ?? Is she the new face of antisemitism in mcps or what? At this point her bigotry is blatant and no accident

And Judith Resnik who the school is named after was Jewish!

This feels like a story for Bethesda Beat or Alexandra Robbins at this point

It’s not a major holiday. Open Houses is on Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day which is actually a REAL major holiday and parents still attend. Imagine that! Anyhoo, I’m off that day and will be there with bells on.

Not this year. There is no school on October 9th, which is Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day.

How are you defining "major"?

Basically all of September is a Jewish holiday. Orthodox Jewish Schools have more than a week of no-school.

If you observe that much you aren't in MCPS.

The Friday night thing is still a pain, but at that level it's time for individual exemptions, because every night of the week is a problem for some people.

Simply a case of not thinking more than anything malicious.

No surprise. It is a Friday. That is always the start of Jewish sabbath. Principal is well aware of holiday and said deal with it.

I thought that DCUM doesn't allow hearsay about specific individuals.

Tell you are wrong, not religious, over 60 years old, and don’t have children in MCPS in 4 sentences.

Are you dumb? That was a rhetorical question. Hearsay is only prohibited in a court of law or judicial proceeding, except for limited circumstances.

I’m defining it as being far more significant than the “holiday” OP is complaining about. Like someone said, just take the month of September off and be done with it.

And take off November, December, March etc… What other months should we all take off because you are too stupid to read a calendar?
