Student Contests

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

The Grade 5 students will once again be participating in the annual Polar Expressions Writing contest for students across Canada.  The students will be writing a short story that must not exceed 450 words.  The story should be original and not use any fan fiction or real names.  It must also be Islamically appropriate, as some of the stories will be published and our students will be representing Abraar School.  Students are asked to submit their typed short stories on Tuesday, November 15.  In addition, they can submit a poem (32 lines or less) by Tuesday, November 1 (optional).  I look forward to reading the students' creative submissions!

Thanks for your ongoing cooperation,
Tr. Salma

As-salamu Alaikum Dear Abraar Parents,

This is a friendly reminder about our current Food Drive for the Sadaqa Food Bank. We have set up collection bins by our school gym but we haven't received enough items until now. We encourage you to participate in this great cause for the the following reasons: 

1) Removing grief and hardship of some families who are in dire need to feed their children. It is narrated that Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, said: Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. 
2) It is a great way to help our students practice kindness, the character of this month!
3) It is also a great way to help students put their du'aa of the month into practice. Our monthly du'aa is:

اللَّهم إني أسألك فعل الخيرات، وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ، وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ
“O Allah, I ask You to help me do good deeds, abandon bad deeds, and love the weak and the poor"


Jazakum Allah khair for your continuous support, cooperation, and kindness

Assalamu  alaikum.

Dear parents:

Thanks to God we started our curriculum by reviewing the basic language skills. For Grade 5, there are three classes per week with each class being 50 minutes long.

Homework: Please refer to the student’s agenda.

Typical Homework: Practicing reading the lesson aloud (Please focus on this as it is important), continuing uncompleted class work, or reviewing for a dictation test that we practiced in class.

The Arabic classes have been divided into two levels (5A; 5B).

Our class is level 2 and is called (سعد بن ابي وقاس) and is taught by me, Tr. Sahar.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.
