2022-2023 Events
MARCH/APRIL 2023
“Those Who spend in charity will be richly rewarded.” (Quran 75:10)
EID TOY DRIVE
DATE: March 22-April 7
DESCRIPTION: The toy drive will run from Wednesday, March 22 through Friday, April 7. We will have a box set up for the toy drive in our front lobby. These toys will be distributed around Eid time to local children either from needy and/or refugee families, insha Allah. We hope you will engage your child in purchasing at least one toy for the toy drive. Toys do not need to be expensive or elaborate; please avoid battery-operated toys and all toy weapons.
Also, look out for more information on sadaqa boxes we will have set up in the front lobby as well. Every year, we encourage our students to give in sadaqa each day, as a way to build the habit and comfort around giving in charity. We teach students to give consistently, even if it is a small amount (a few coins or a dollar); to give with their right hand; and to make/purify their intentions when giving in charity. The FTA will have boxes set up for this purpose; these funds will go towards projects right here at our school. We will have another box set up for projects that will support families living in poverty in other countries. Further details on this are forthcoming, insha Allah.
