As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims around the world are preparing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset every day, abstaining from food and drink as a means of self-reflection and spiritual improvement. The ultimate goal is to grow in moral excellence and gain greater God-consciousness. As the month-long fast ends, the joyous holiday of Eid al-Fitr is a time for feasting, gift-giving, and gathering with family and friends. Let's take this opportunity to learn more about Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, and to celebrate the diversity and richness of Muslim traditions.

As Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims around the world are preparing to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast. 🎉

After a month of fasting from dawn to sunset, Muslims will gather with family and friends to enjoy delicious meals, exchange gifts, and offer prayers of gratitude. 💕

Eid al-Fitr is a time of joy and celebration, a time to reflect on the blessings of the past month and to look forward to the year ahead. 🌙

Let's take a moment to wish our Muslim friends and loved ones a happy Eid and to embrace the spirit of love and unity that this holiday represents. Eid Mubarak! 🌟

Happy Arab American Heritage Month🎉❕

As we celebrate the rich culture and contributions of Arab Americans, it's also important to recognize the harmful effects of ni****ne in the community. Ho**ah smoking, a common practice in many Arab cultures, has been linked to a range of health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease, and addiction.

Let's take this month as an opportunity to educate ourselves and our loved ones on the dangers of ni****ne and encourage healthier habits. Together, we can prioritize our well-being and honor the vibrant traditions of Arab Americans. ****neawareness

🎆TUPE HIGHLIGHTS🎉 Since November 2020, our TUPE team has selected programs, people and actions that have done great work for the TUPE program as a whole. We look forward to sharing our highlight for our 2021 HIGHLIGHTS FOR MARCH AND APRIL... 
Our team's Highlights to Share for MARCH are the Peer Educators from Mission San Jose High School in Fremont! Since incorporating the TUPE program into Mr. Breazeale’s first year Leadership class, the program at Mission has grown tremendously! This year, Mission San Jose has produced Red Ribbon Week events and activities, interviews with youth who have struggled with ni****ne addiction, and offered continuous educational opportunities for the entire MSJ community. Great job MSJHS!
Our team's Highlights to Share for APRIL are the TUPE Peer Educators from Longfellow Middle School and Berkeley High School! Starting in February, the TUPE programs at Longfellow and Berkeley High created a virtual event called “Stories from Beyond”. Over 2-days, 8th graders from Longfellow Middle school joined a virtual call with the high school Peer Educators from BHS. The first day was focused on highlighting the BHS TUPE program and the second day was focused on the resources and programs at BHS. At the end of the event, Longfellow students were able to ask questions regarding high school and what to expect for next year! Amazing collaboration!

🥳🎊TUPE HIGHLIGHTS🎉🎆 Since November 2020, our TUPE team has selected programs, people and actions that have done great work for the TUPE program as a whole. We look forward to sharing our highlight for our 2021 HIGHLIGHT FOR FEBRUARY...
Our team’s Highlights to Share this month are Junction Ave K-8, Granada High and Vineyard High School Peer Educators in Livermore! These programs, a middle school and two high schools in Livermore, have been collaborating since the beginning of the school year. Together, with their Site Coordinators and Peer Educators, the programs have met to discuss TUPE planning for the year and how they can support each other. Junction Ave K-8 is currently hosting their own PSA Contest in connection with our county-wide contest and were successful in presenting to staff members last week! Granada and Vineyard have worked together to complete their own presentations and TUPE outreach work at their school sites, and have been great mentors for the younger TUPE Peer Educators!

We are excited to announce that we will be holding our 23rd Annual Conferences for middle- and high-school students…VIRTUALLY…and we have some great new features to these conferences:
·
We have over 40 workshops being offered at the conference, with a focus on youth leadership in both the virtual and hybrid spaces, as well as mental and physical health and wellness. Over 50% of our workshops this year are being facilitated by youth! YOUTH VOICE MATTERS!
One item that is CRITICAL for our TUPE programs to know, is that students MUST register themselves individually. This is new…and a critical change…as the web site and app for the conference require each student to have a unique, registered, login and password. It is also critical that we have the students self-register, as every student who registers BEFORE 5pm on February 15th, will be sent an amazing SWAG package in the mail, containing some awesome swag, snacks, etc., all tied to the conference and the conference theme of A.C.T.: “Action Changes Things!”
🎉
If you are a Peer Educator, and you are interested in attending, please let your Site Coordinator know!

Our team's Highlights to Share this month is our Alameda County TUPE Youth Advisory Board and the hard work that they have all been putting in for our TUPE program. Our group has been able to meet twice a month since September, taking the time to get to know each other, play icebreaker games, create county-wide TUPE informational material, and finalize Teens Tackle To***co deliverables! At our most recent meeting, the Youth Advisory Board members reviewed and selected the TTT conference workshops and selected the SWAG items that will be given to all those who attend.
