Social Studies project

Assalamu Alaykom dear parents,

Students will be doing a social Studies project during the winter break.

Choose a world community. Make a research and gather information about this community.
Your report should include:

• The name of the community.
• Three things you have learnt about this community (describe and illustrate on picture cards)

You can choose 3 things among these: food, shelter, clothing, communication, education, entertainment, and transportation.

Students can use these links to help them decide which community they'll choose.

Winter fundraiser for Syria

as salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

In shaa Allah we will all soon be all enjoying our winter break with our friends and families. Ameen!

Before we begin our break the school is trying to have a quick mini-fundraiser for the Syrian crisis.

The deadline to donate would be this Thursday, December 19, before the students go for the winter break.

Whatever you can give your kids is acceptable (money up to $35, warm blankets, coats)

May Allah SWT reward all of your intentions and kind acts of charity in shaa Allah. Ameen!
