Eid-ul-Fitr Celebration
This year, Insha'Allah, Al-Furqan School will organize teacher and student lunch in multi-purpose hall for Eid-ul-Fitr Celebration. We plan to have treat bags for our elementary students and sweet treats for middle and high school students with our regular served lunch. Parent support is essential in making of any school event a success. We ask Al-Furqan Parents to support this celebration by contributing generously.
Eid-ul-Adha Event
In 2008-2009 academic year, Al-Furqan School established a Hajj Program meant to create an interactive and fun way of teaching students about the rituals of the Hajj. Parent volunteers constructed various props representing the different stages of the Hajj, and high school students were asked to dress as pilgrims and guide the younger students through pilgrimage. The activity included school wide participation and encouraged our High School students to serve as role models for the younger students. Following the Hajj Program, Al-Furqan also organized a school wide Eid-ul-Adha celebration in the multi-purpose hall. Parent and student volunteers were asked to set up a school wide party for Eid-ul-Adha to include a variety of food, games, prizes, henna, balloons and other fun activities for the students. Both the Hajj program and the Eid-ul-Adha Celebration were a wonderful example of community volunteerism and demonstrated the commitment on the part of students, parents, staff and volunteers to work together to make Eid-ul-Adha both educational and a fun event for all Al-Furqan students.
Teacher Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon
Every year Al-Furqan School hosts its annual Teacher and Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon as a token of our appreciation for their ongoing support. The luncheon gives us the opportunity to recognize and honor individuals who assist with school operations. Our sincere gratitude goes out to all the teachers who work diligently with our students and successfully implement our curriculum. The true success of Al-Furqan School lies with our devoted teacher volunteers.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Every year Al-Furqan School hosts parent teacher conferences at the end of the Fall semester as a way to allow the staff to communicate the progress of students with their parents. For the 2008-2009 school year, the parent conferences included KG-12th grade. This year, parent turnout was very high – a strong indication of the increasing participation of the parent community in our school.
End of Year Assembly
The End of Year Assembly is a school wide event for students and parents. The gathering is meant to share some of the student achievements with parents. The gathering is also a great social event for the Al-Furqan community to end the school year with.
