McDonogh Celebrates Diwali

This year, the McDonogh community marked Diwali, the festival of lights, in moments big and small.

At lunch during the week of November 2, Lower School families set up a pop-up celebration, sharing traditional treats and telling the story behind the holiday.

The celebration continued off campus at an event hosted by the South Asian Heritage Circle on Thursday, November 5, an evening of great food, dancing, and storytelling that brought families together.

Through it all, the community honored the heart of Diwali: hope, connection, and the triumph of light over darkness.
