April 12th to May 12th
Read-a-Thon is one of the ways we do so much at IQRA' - raise money and have fun reading at the same time! Ask your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers - anyone - to pledge your kid to read. Students are encouraged to read a variety of books, sample some new authors, and stretch their literary potential. Along the way there will be BINGO cards to play and prizes for participation. In addition to being fun, our Read A Thon is also a fundraiser where kids ask grandparents and neighbors to sponsor them for minutes read.
It's that exciting time of year again...BACK TO SCHOOL 2016!!! Welcome back to our wonderful students and parents; we hope you had a restful break! We look forward to another year filled with promise and opportunity as we continue our journey with Laurel Springs, our accredited online partner in education.
