The second project is to cook an Iftar (the meal with which Muslims break their fast during the fasting month of Ramadan) for all the school workers who are on duty during Iftar time. This year the event had turned into a festival. All fifth grade classes participated. Two Iftars were served. For the first Iftar fifth graders hosted 80 members of the community (workers, students, teachers, parents, and administrators). For the second Iftar 5th graders hosted 120 community members.
