First grade students in Aimee Burton’s class learned about the Kurdish New Year celebration known as Newroz from first grade Sidar Balaban’s mom, Nazan Bedirhanoglu. This holiday, marking the Spring Equinox, signifies not only the start of spring but also the commencement of the new year. Various nations throughout the Middle East and Asia commemorate their versions of Newroz. Translating to “the New Day,” Newroz holds profound significance for the Kurdish people, representing freedom. During Newroz festivities, participants wear vibrant attire adorned with the customary Kurdish hues of yellow, green, and red.

A cherished Newroz custom involves holding hands and dancing in circles around a blazing fire.
