Registration for Grades 1-7 May 15 onsite madrassah

A couple of week ago, we asked parents of Grades 1-7 students to submit the registration form to indicate if your child(ren) will attend onsite session on May 15 or not.  We thank all parents who have responded however we are missing many responses.  Based on the low number of responses to date, we’re trending to not have the onsite session for Grades 1-7.  Parents who have not yet responded are requested to submit your response ASAP; latest by Tuesday, April 12.

Topic: ‘Being a Resilient Muslim’
Grades 5-7 will also cover Bulugh & Common errors in Salaat & Wudhu

When: Onsite madrassah day at 9000 Bathurst for Grades 1-7 on May 15, 2022, 10:30 am – 2:30 pm.

All students are expected to attend and attendance will be taken.
Lunch will be provided and students will have time to reconnect with each other.

Ask: In order to proceed with the onsite workshop, we need at least 65% of students to attend. Parents of Grades 1-7 students, please use the link below and submit the registration form by Tuesday, April 12th to indicate whether your child(ren) will attend; submit a separate form for each child and submit it even if your child will not be attending.

Annual Quran Recitation for Ahlul Bayt (a) and Marhumeen

As in past years, all students, parents, and volunteers are welcome to join us and share in the recitation of the Holy Quran during the month of Ramadhan.  This year, we’re dedicating the recitation as follows:

– thawab for all volunteers who have passed away
– thawab for Marhumeen of all reciters
– thawab for all Marhumeen who don’t have anyone to pray for them.

Use the link below and enter your initials to recite one or more surah(s). Kindly complete all recitations latest by Saturday, April 30, 2022.
