This is a petition to have Diwali as a day off in Forsyth County Schools. Diwali is a commonly celebrated holiday among Hindus. 

Schools in New York have Diwali as a holiday, so let's follow their lead. With this petition, our goal is to have a holiday for all 5 consecutive days of Diwali.

It is disappointing that Forsyth County does not have a holiday for Diwali, and it is necessary that they they recognize this holiday. Sign this petition now.
