Thursday Professional Day + Update

Assalamu Alaikum dear parents,

On Thursday, May 28 the student council in the elementary school is holding an event called 'Professional Day', where students can dress like any professional! Recently students participated in Community Day and learned all about different professionals, such as lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, police officers, etc! There is one thing in common between all the professionals which is for them to be compassionate towards others. This goes in line with our monthly character trait of compassion! 

*Please note that it was recently announced to the students that it was supposed to be a 'Fantasy Day', however, the theme has been changed to 'Dress like a Professional'. The students are aware of the change.

Language: The students are finishing up the novel study, and we will be starting our review of the year's key learning soon in shaa Allah.

Social Studies: We are learning more about the political parties of Canada, how our views and beliefs fit in with those of the parties, and talking about different issues for the upcoming Federal Election. 

Other: The Grade 5/6 boys have started a soccer tournament on Wednesdays at lunch time. Additionally, this Thursday afternoon (May 28th) we will be having boys from another islamic school visiting us for a friendly match.

JazakumAllahu khayran

French Cafe

Dear Parents,

Assalam Alaikum,

As part of the French curriculum, the grades 6 students are hosting the  French Café (called Café De France) . The event will be  on Thursday May 21, 2015 Insha’a Allah for all students.

 We will be serving light snacks and drinks that we find, usually, in a French café like: sandwiches, café (coffee), crêpes (French pancakes), gâteau (cake) and biscuits (cookies). The prices will range from $0.50 to  $3.00.

Students from grade 6 will be waiters and servers.

Proceeds from the sale will be donated back to the school.

Help us make this event a success.

Welcome to Café de France!
