May 15 Grades 1-7 onsite event
Many thanks to all parents who brought their child(ren) to the onsite session last Sunday, May 15th and for the wonderful feedback. We are indebted to Zakira Shyrose Jaffer Dhalla for a very interesting puppet show, the leads, Sisters Aliya Shivraj, Ateka Alidina, Fatima Alibhai, and Sukaina Hameer, and Brothers Amjad Datoo, Hussein Sajjad Hussein, Muhammad Abbas Panju, Shums Kassam, and Sarfaraz Dhalla, and all the wonderful Al-Haadi and parent volunteers who helped make this a successful event.
MashaAllah, through everyone’s generosity, about 90 care bags were decorated by Grades 1-4 students, packed with toiletries and stationery, and delivered to the United Muslim Women of Canada Family Foodbank for distribution to families in need.
Community Service Award Update
If any Al-Haadi Study Centre students (Grades 1-12) have been volunteering at any organization since Aug. 1, 2021 and have met the minimum number of hours for the grade, we would like to hear about it and recognize the students at our year end awards day. The form should be submitted latest by June 1, 2022 along with a picture showing the record of hours volunteered.
