Assalamu alaikum respected parents,
I pray you are all well. Last Sunday, our students in Grades 1-8 participated in our Annual Quiz Competition. Students competed with each other in three teams: Team Makkah, Team Medina and Team Quds and all students did very well ma sha Allah. Team Makkah won with 260 points followed by Team Quds (230 points) and Team Medina (165 points). JazakAllah Khair to all the parents who joined us for the event. Students in PK-KG enjoyed participating in an alternate activity: Eid themed crafts and games with their teachers and parent volunteers. Tomorrow, Sunday May 5th, is our Review for the Final Exams. Teachers will provide study guides/instructions for Final Exams in sha Allah that will take place on May 12th and May 19th. If weather permits, we will celebrate May 19th with a Field Day in the PM (11:30 - 1:00), so students can enjoy outdoor games and activities in sha Allah. For any parents, who would like to volunteer and have fun while helping out with Field Day, please fill out THIS FORM and we will reach out to share more information.
It's hard to believe that we are already in May and planning the very last few days of Sunday School. May 6th-May 10th is National Teacher Appreciation Week. We are organizing a Staff Appreciation Lunch at the end of this school year. For any parents who wish to contribute towards a Gift for teachers, please send $10 in an envelope labelled Teacher Appreciation Money with your child by 5/19/24. You can also Zelle $10 at 847-772-1869 with a Note: Teacher Appreciation Money (Please note that this is OPTIONAL and only $10 per family)
Sunday School will hold its 8th Grade Graduation & Awards Distribution Ceremony on JUNE 2nd, 2024. Like last year, any 8th grade boys & girls interested in giving a graduation speech on June 2nd, please submit your speech by MAY 19th for review at: ifnss.principal@ifnonline.com with the subject line ‘Graduation Speech’.
