فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلِحْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَصَاحِبُ الْعَفْوِ يَنَامُ اللَّيْلَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَصَاحِبُ الِانْتِصَارِ يُقَلِّبُ الْأُمُورَ
Hadith of the Week:Whoever forgives and sets things right, his reward is with Allah. The one who forgives will sleep comfortably in his bed and the one who avenges will toss and turn over his affairs.” Source: Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 8/112

Assalamu alaikum respected parents,
Last Sunday, our students completed their mid terms for Islamic History and Studies and some grades also took mid terms for Quran/Arabic. Students who were absent last week can do make ups for their missed mid terms this coming Sunday 1/19. The mid terms for Quran and Arabic are also taking place this next Sunday, January 19th except for a few grades who already completed them last week. Teachers have posted mid term study guides in google classrooms and some have also provided paper copies to students. For any reason, if your child does not have their study guide for mid terms, please reach out to ask for help. A few teachers are doing projects for mid term grades instead of exam. Please make sure your children have all the information they need by checking their google classrooms for each subject area and please feel free to reach out if you need assistance.
Recess was indoors last Sunday and it seems like we will again be indoors this coming Sunday, based on the weather forecast.
MORNING ASSEMBLY: Our morning Assembly on 1/12 was led by Sr Mazozeh Shaban, who talked to students about the month of Rajab and its significance. One of the scholars said: "Rajab is the month of cultivation, Shaban is the month of irrigating the fields, and the month of Ramadan is the month of reaping and harvesting." We don't want to spend Ramadan preparing. We want to enter the month prepared and take in all the benefits of Ramadan from the start! Please refer to the FLYER for additional details. For any parents who would like to come and lead a morning assembly at Sunday School, or get involved in other volunteer opportunities at Sunday School, please fill out THIS FORM and we will reach out to you with next steps.
