Library Updates!

Dear Parents,

Assalamu Alaikum

 

It just seems like yesterday when we were all getting ready to greet the students on the first day of school. Now, June is just around the corner. Time has flown by, subhanAllah!

 

Please take note that the school library will be closing its student services starting Monday, June 2, 2014. For this reason, we would ask that all the students bring back their library book(s) no later than Friday, May 30, 2014. Please remind your child to bring his or her library book(s) before the deadline.

 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

 

Have a wonderful day, inshaAllah.

Sincerely,

Nancy-Ann Brethour,
