Please help me out with your child by talking to them the importance of behaving well in public places.  Today when we went swimming they were very loud and it was terrible.

Spelling test tomorrow.  I will no longer be lenient with marks and with their writing.  Tonight just do a quick check that they are printing their letters correctly please.  Last week there were lots of silly mistakes.

Please parents this is the last reminder that your child is scheduled to do their presentations this week.  I was not pleased today when I found out that some students have not started.  I had given plenty of time and reminders as well.

If there are any problems and your child can not present on the given scheduled day contact me tomorrow to arrange for another day.  I would like to have all the presentations done for this week Insha Allah.


All the students must complete math page 235.  I already took up the page with your child and we all did the answer orally all they need to do is fill in the blanks.

Of course we could not do this without your full support!  We would like to ask each and every family to provide us with baked goods to sell on Tuesday, April 16th, inshallah!  Please make sure that the goods are NUT FREE… 

When baking the goods, keep in mind that the customers are children.

Some suggestions of what to bake or send:  cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, cakes, brownies, small sandwishes, little meat pies & cheese pies, little pizzas, etc.

 BE CREATIVE!!!

To make the servining process easier, please wrap/package in individual servings…

Please remember that we are selling to the whole school…

Together, inshallah, we can achieve our goal!!!

Last but not least, we would like to have some parents volunteer (6 would be wonderful) to help in the serving process on the day on the day of the bake sale, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.  Please email if you are able to make it. 

We appreciate your full support and cooperation!!!

Bookfair (Part II)


Dear Parents,

Assalamu Alaikum

 The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school this week, and we invite you to come and share in this celebration of literacy with us!

 Now more than ever, reading is vital to leading a better life. It is the door opener to the 21st century for all children. Knowing how to read is just the beginning. Motivating young people to KEEP READING, comprehend what they read and develop the ability to think creatively are the end goals.

 Children need ACCESS to great books and the opportunity to CHOOSE what they want to read. Moreover, they need TIME for reading.

Scholastic Book Fairs has the books to motivate more reading. With your involvement, we can inspire children to practice reading and read more often. Together, we can make a difference in their lives that will last a lifetime.

 One great way to ensure our children get started with reading and keep on reading all year long is with the Classroom Wish List program. We urge you to stop by the CWL display when you first arrive at the Fair. Take a moment to learn how purchasing books and donating them to your child’s classroom, can give little readers even greater ACCESS to the books they want to read by expanding existing classroom libraries.

 We asked each teacher to fill-in her “book wish list” prior to the fair. Look for your child’s teacher’s name on the display. All teachers took great care in selecting the best and most appropriate books to meet their students’ reading levels and learning needs. It is their wish that these books become a permanent part of the classroom library. We will recognize every generous gift you make with a special bookplate, identifying your family or child as the donor.

 We will display the Classroom Wish List at the book fair, so keep an eye out for it! Your support can help a classroom blossom with new and exciting adventures in reading, stimulating young minds for years to come.

 We hope to see you at our Scholastic Book Fair. Together, we can raise readers!

 Sincerely,

Nancy-Ann Brethour

Book Fair Chairperson

Dear Parents and Families,

Assalamu Alaikum

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school this week! What better way to promote reading to our students than by supporting this important literary event.

We invite your entire family to participate by purchasing the latest and greatest in children’s books. Did you know that for every $10 you spend at the Fair up to $6 comes directly back to our school? Your support of this vital literary event is key in helping us obtain new books and resources for our library and classrooms.

You will find hundreds of quality books at our Book Fair with a wide assortment for all reading levels. On Monday, your child will be bringing home the Scholastic Book Fair flyer that provides a preview of only a FEW of the many books available to purchase at our Fair.

The flyer also contains a special Family Event Draw ballot that parents can deposit during our Family Event. You could win $50 in books – $25 for your family PLUS $25 for your child’s classroom!

Do not forget to mark the Book Fair dates on your calendar! We look forward to seeing you during our Scholastic Book Fair and thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary fundraiser. Mostly, thank you for believing in books and the importance reading has on your child’s future.
