W. Deen Mohammed High School 2009-2010 Varsity Basketball Schedule

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, December 2nd! Parents should always take advantage of the opportunity to meet with their student’s teachers. It only takes a few minutes, but what you walk away with can carry you and your student through the next grading period.

The Islamic Studies Department would like to thank Bro. Jesse Ahmed and Alumni Shakoor Rasheed for helping our middle school students with their Adhan calling classes! We would also like to thank Sis. Shamsid-Deen for the donation of the beautiful Qur’ans to the Islamic Studies department. Please be mindful that every Friday is “Father’s Day Friday”! That means that we encourage all community brothers, fathers, uncles, and alumni to come to the school and participate in “Brother-to-Brother”, assist the classes with the walks to Jumah, and assist in after-school duty with the entire student body.

For all those parents who are not totally familiar with the Mohammed Schools Fundraising Contract, you can find it here. While the Fundraising Program is a mandatory part of the Mohammed Schools Program, it is quite encouraging to see so many parents and community members genuinely excited and enthusiastic about participating!

Our very next Fundraiser is the “Day of Majesty 2010! Celebrating 30 Years of Islamic Education!” This is a highly anticipated Fundraiser this year because our focus will be on the legacy of the Honorable Elijah Mohammed, his wife, Clara Mohammed, the Mother of Education, and his son, our leader, Imam W.D. Mohammed. We will also focus on the accomplishments we’ve achieved over the past 30 years, as well as our vision of Mohammed Schools for the next 30 years! When we can achieve that, what a “day of majesty” that will be!

Okay, moving on!…We are now in the planning and development stage of this “Day of Majesty 2010″ production. That means that we are soliciting ideas, suggestions, volunteers,and coordinators for this “Day of Majesty 2010″. The Fundraising Office doors are wide open, you can email me, or call me at the school. Please be sure to read the Fundraising Contract carefully so that you will know exactly what each family’s responsibility is for this upcoming Fundraiser.

Thank you again to all the parents, students, and family members who participated in the Road Race for Education, the Eid Breakfasts I & II, and the Bake Sale! Please continue to support our great efforts and hard work at Mohammed Schools. Your Fundraising participation makes all the difference!
