school news paper Published by the Students Click

Photos of: The school, the students, parties, field trips, Graduations,
and other events. Some can be clicked on to become bigger (most won't),
some links to movie files are here too.

Some Muslims believe taking photos is haram, please forgive us if
you are one who believes that too.(inshallah, no one should think of these photos as "images of worship" that would be Haram.)
Our effort is to share with any who are interested in comming to our school
and join our community; to be able to see for themselves the beauty of Allah on the faces
of these glorious creations of Allah.

Each child was asked permission & their parents to be able to show their photo on the net.
Anyone wishing to have their photo removed need only ask and it will be done ‘no questions asked’!

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12th grades.

Passport to the World
6, 7, 8, & 9th grades visited the world.
In our Upper school's Main Hall the 10th, 11th, & 12th grades
each took different parts of the world
and showed Islam as it is presented in that section of the world.
They did this through dress, food and display boards.

We learned that even though the cultural differences can by vast and many, loving Allah is always the same.
Praying five times a day is happening everyday in every land where ever a Muslim lives. We learned that we should love
and respect our brothers and sisters whether they eat hummus dip or Sour cream-and-onion dip.
That, cultural differences are only on the outside, and as Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam) said,

“Indeed, Allah does not look at your physical appearance and your wealth,
rather He looks at your heart and your deeds.”
Thank you Sister Azmina Hamad for such a great lesson for our students.

Students had a mock Passport that was signed by each Country's Ambassador
More to come...
10th GradeWith Sister Hamad 11th Grade 12th grade
Salaams everyone.

Self defense demonstrations

6th grade Teacher, Brother Rami, is also a Marital Arts expert.

Rami says, “It is essential for every Muslim to be able to defend themselves
if the time should arise. However, every Muslim should remember this is for
‘Self Defense’ not to be the aggressor!

If an arrogant and/or ignorant man was to insult you, your faith, or your family in any way, you must remember he is ignorant and does not know any better.

It is our job, our effort, OUR DUTY as Muslims to be the examples of peace and faith.
Not to be the examples of anger, foolish pride, impatiens, and aggressive behavior.”
Self Defense means defend, not attack!

Furthermore, he said, “Any coward can start a fight; it takes a man with courage to stop one. Any coward can
call a name; it takes true bravery to hold your tongue.
Any coward can call a name or make a fist. True Muslims will invoke the justice of Allah, and follow the example of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) who never sought revenge or was known to be angry at any one." (End quote)
