Damaged Library Books


Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents.                                                     Image result for damaged books clipart
I hope this message finds you well and in good health.
I have noticed that a few books have come back to the library "repaired." I would kindly request that parents do not attempt to repair the damaged books, because I have special material that I use to repair the damaged books. However, informing me of the damage would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Jazakum Allahu Khairan.
Have a wonderful day, inshaAllah.
Sincerely,
Nancy-Ann Brethour

Here is the news from the French class.
Our daily routine is drilling the vocabulary related to our daily activities. We are talking about activities at school or at home. Al Hamdulillah, students are gaining self confidence in speaking French during French class.

Update:
·         Tuesday, March 3, we are having the 4rd French test: spelling, grammar.
·         The spelling list for Tuesday is:
1.       Je veux jouer avec toi.
