Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Dear An-Noor Parents,

Alhamdulillah. Though it is taken for granted that everything comes to an end, it is really hard to

believe that the 2017-2018 school year is coming to a close. Thus, I would like to take the

opportunity to extend my heartfelt and sincerest thanks for all those who made this year an

amazingly successful one. To reflect on all what has been achieved this year, I'd like to share the

great accomplishments with our students, staff, parents and the community and ask each and

everyone to be proud of the progress we’ve made in many areas, such as Curriculum, Coat Drive,

Science Fair, Arabic and English Speeches, Multiculture Day, Math& Literacy Night, Field Trips,

Grades 8 & SK graduation ceremonies, Quran and Tahfeez Programs, PA Days workshops,

Mathematica, Poetry Contest, and sport tournaments. A huge "thank you" goes to our Parent

Council for their continued support to our staff , students, and parents by helping with various

activities such as Fun Day, fundraising for Smart Boards and projectors, and field trips. I'd also

like to extend my sincerest "thanks" and "appreciation "to our staff. In fact, I have been blessed,

and it has been a pleasure working with everyone of An-Noor staff. Your hard work and dedication

have enriched the opportunities for all students and their academic progress and growth.

In closing, I would like to take a moment and pay tribute to our School Board, WIA, and all

supporters and donors who stand behind An-Noor School to flourish, move forward, and always

be, unequivocally, a top school Bi Ethnellah.

I wish and pray that our staff, our students and their families have a happy, safe and enjoyable

summer, Insha'Allah.

There is no doubt that families with children at An-Noor Private School play a big role in keeping the school running safely and healthily. An-Noor parents are encouraged to donate towards “An-Noor School Reserve Funds” which will be used solely for purchasing the future home to house An-Noor Private School. This may be paid at the School’s office or at the Treasurer’s Office at the WIA Mosque.
