“He who obeys the Messenger has in deed obeyed Allah”

 I love the Qur’an:

Our month theme is loving the Qur’an. In the morning assembly, we have been discussing, favorite Surahs, benefits of specific Surahs, and manners with dealing with the Qur’an.
In addition, we are launching a Qur’an competition this year to be held on May 30th. Students will be preparing through memorization of a specified Surah, memorization of the meanings of that Surah, and application of Tajweed rulings for upper grades. More information will be sent next week.
This initiative is to help our students understand the great importance of Qur’an in our lives. It is not enough for a Muslim to memorize few Surahs, rather the Prophet taught us to memorize the Qur’an, understand its meanings and their implications, and apply its teachings in every aspect of our life. Help us prepare our students to make the Qur’an the center of their lives.

 Spelling Bee

If your child is a student in grade 1 to 7, he / she should be practicing his spelling words. Spelling Bee school event will be held on March 31st.




  Open House
Our Open House will be held next Friday, March 7th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. We are counting on you to invite your friends to this event. Your effort in spreading the word out can make a big difference.
Remember that with more students in the school, Alhuda will have a more solid financial standing, which will directly benefit your child.
So take the time to invite others and remember the $100 discount that goes to you for every family that enrolls because of your referral.




  Snow days
Because of the many times we’ve had to cancel school days or parts of days, we are planning to add some time in the calendar. Please be aware that the first Thursday in March and May will be a regular full day. In addition, we are adding 1 day at the end of the year to include June 13th in the school calendar.
So mark the changes on your calendar:
March 6: Regular full day
May 1: Regular full day
June 13: Last day of school



  Community Service
Sixth and seventh grade students were thrilled with their community service yesterday. One group helped collect sap from trees while another cleaned out land next to a pond. The third group was entrusted in making a large amount of pancake mix. All students had good exposure to providing community services and were able to demonstrate good Islamic manners through their interactions with others.


  Calendar for 08/09
Attached is the calendar for next school year. Please refer to it if you’re planning any summer trips.




  New addition
We are happy to announce that Aisha Yusaf Masood has joined our school to teach art to upper elementary and middle school students. Mrs. Masood brings with her much energy and enthusiasm.
We are also in the process of hiring a new gym teacher to replace Mrs. Pappas. We thank Mrs. Pappas for the great work she did with our students.
