Welcome Back

Dear parents, 
Assalam Alaikum, happy new year and welcome back to school.

It's time to form the committee for the Madeha Lashin Scholarship Award (MLSA). Each year a new committee is formed from different stakeholders (parent, teacher, board, admin). The committee members choose a topic for this year's essay and evaluate the essays to determine the winners. Please let me know if you are interested to be on this committee.

First volunteer cards are due on Thursday, January 31. Please turn in your completed card to the school's front office and make sure to receive a receipt. This card is worth $200. This month we have volunteering opportunities during the Science Fair and also for the fundraising dinner.

Session 2 Club registration starts today Wednesday, January 9 and goes on until Tuesday, January 22. Club information and registration are available on the GIS homepage (Session 2 Clubs).

We placed the order for the Granada T-shirts before the break, and we are scheduled to receive the shipment this Friday. We will distribute them next week, insha Allah. Students are to wear their Granada shirts on Friday, January 25. We are planning an exciting activity for that day!

Granada will be off on Monday, January 21st for the observation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

25 more days to our 25th celebration! GIS fundraising dinner and alumni reunion is scheduled on Sunday, February 3rd at 6pm at the Santa Clara Marriott. Please mark your calendar and spread the word.

Sincerely,

Nihad M. Mourad
Principal
