4/3/2022

new this year: ramadan calendar

4/3/2022

Alhamdulillah, this year, the Islamic Studies teachers created a Ramadan Calendar for students to create a Ramadan spirit during this blessed month. The calendar includes a Sadaqah Jariah Project (continuous charity). The students can donate money (cash or check endorsed to Genesee Academy) on Mondays and Wednesday during the Islamic studies classes (high school students can give the money to Mr Tibi). The goal is to collect at least $ 3,000 to build a well in Africa. This well will be a continuous charity for everyone who donates to this project during this blessed month. The Ramadan Calendar is attached.
In addition, the high school student council is planning different Islamic activities for high school students during lunch break throughout the month of Ramadan. Also, they will start a clothing drive for poor families in the area. The details of this drive will be coming soon.
Again, we ask Allah to accept our fasting and prayer during this blessed month. Jazakum Allah Khairan.
