Band teacher needs help!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some guidance regarding Chanukah music in my band class. This year I have a student with a Jewish dad and Christian mom in my class, and otherwise my students are Christian and/or not religious – I don’t teach in a diverse area. I want to include a Chanukah song in my winter concert program. However, before I proceed I want to make sure I’m actually being inclusive by programming a Chanukah song in my band, and not culturally appropriating, because myself and the majority of my students have no ties to Judiasm. What are your thoughts? The parents and community would be upset if no holiday music was in the concert, even though it’s a public school, so that’s not really an option for me. Thank you, and I’m not meaning to be offensive in any way.
