In recognition of the hard work and dedication of the students, staff and volunteers, a program was held at the end of the school year to show appreciation to everyone for their efforts. All staff members and volunteers received certificates of appreciation. Gifts were also given to the staff and volunteers. Students were recognized and received awards and gifts for outstanding classroom performance, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place winners in the Quran competition were awarded trophies and gifts also. Two classes performed children songa to the enjoyment of all. An Islamic Trivia competition was held and winners received gifts as well. Although students, staff and volunteers were recognized, parents are to be commended for the support they have shown throughout the year. If the parents did not pay the tuition and bring their children to and from the school, and help the children with their homework, we could not have had the successful year that we did. May Allah continue to reward everyone for their efforts and devotion in helping our Islamic school to be a success. 2
