Gurpurab Celebration: An Evening of Learning and Langar

We are excited to invite you to a special Gurpurab Celebration on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. This event will honor the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings and provide an opportunity for our community to connect, learn, and collaborate.

This event is for everyone—students, educators, parents, and caregivers from all backgrounds and communities—to come together to learn about Sikh traditions, ask questions, and connect in an inclusive space. It is an opportunity to build understanding, celebrate diversity, and engage in shared learning.

 

Event Highlights: 

Welcome message - 5:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. 

Workshops to Learn about Sikh Identity: 5:20 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Educators, students, parents, and caregivers are all welcome to participate in workshops designed to foster understanding of the Sikh identity and values. Each workshop is thoughtfully crafted for different age groups to encourage meaningful engagement and learning.

  • Educators: Workshop on the Sikh Identity, including a Q&A session to address any questions or curiosities.
