Cookies decoration

 
22-January-2026
 On Tuesday-20-January, the Bogota Public Library hosted a special makers lab that focused on Muslim Heritage with the use of decorating Islamic themed cookies.
 This was led by Ms. Jenna Makkaoui , who talked about a few important symbols of the Islamic faith with the use of homemade cookies. One was the  Crescent Moon  which marks the beginning of a Lunar Month that is the base of the Islamic calendar, which is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days.
 Another cookie was shaped as a Mosque which is the place of worship for Muslims. It also serves as a community centre, a space of prayer, education, and other social activities.
 Then Ms. Makkaoui passed out the cookies along with frosting and sprinkles for the Students to decorate.
 On Saturday-7-February the Borough of Bogota will host their Ramadan event in the Senior Centre on the second fl. of 375 Larch Ave. starting at 3:30p
 The Bogota Library will host a Muslim Heritage Month with songs and stories with specials community guests on Saturday-31 January. This will be held in the Senior Centre on the second fl. of 375 Larch Ave. starting at 11:00a. Registration is required.
