Keep our IQRA environment clean!

Assalamu alaikum!

This Tuesday, October 2, will be the start of the Health and Hygiene Awareness Days. 

This year, the theme is "Keep our IQRA environment clean."

The objectives of these days are to increase awareness of cleanliness, and to promote the importance of cleanliness of the soul, the body and the environment. We are focusing also on the importance of keeping our classrooms and our school clean. By doing this, we are convinced that students will naturally have a more positive attitude about their school, a greater sense of school spirit and school pride insha Allah!

The week is full of activities. Take a look at the schedule for the upcoming week!

Make sure that your child participates in at least one of the competitions! It is a great way to enhance creativity, imagination and motivation!
