Catholic Holy Week disregarded by School District

The District Calendar disgraces and disrespects the Holiest Days in the Christian Calendar! And it seems that no one cares. Here is the link the calendar, to which I am referring. If you note, the calendar begins telling the community that Easter break begins on Good Friday! To begin, that is highly ignorant. Easter begins on the vigil of Easter Sunday. Students and people in most businesses get normal Sundays off from work, so how could this day (part of the weekend, and Easter Sunday) still be considered an EASTER break from school? School is in session on Easter Monday, the second day of EASTER, and this calendar provides NO EASTER BREAK in 2009 for the community and school district where I work.

Christians are attacked by this practice of not acknowledging the Holiest Days of the Christian Celebration, and what it means to be a Christian. As a Catholic, I am keenly aware of this affront, yet unable and powerless to do anything, except take a personal day, or sick day to have the time to pray, and practice my faith.
