Reading Session in Newpapers

We would like to share with you the link to the local Lebanese newspaper "Al-Akhbar" about the reading session with Dr. Beverly Naidoo. http://www.al-akhbar.com/ar/node/141678

Award-Winning Author Beverley Naidoo at our School

How often would students get to meet an award-winning author, a writer who was a threat to the South African government because her writings would be a chance for people to act out and take a stand? Our students were offered such a valuable chance by the British Council to meet the award-winning author Mrs. Beverley Naidoo. Mrs. Naidoo visited our school today and met our Grade Six students. She gave a presentation about her different books and her life in South Africa. Her aim was to give students a chance to explore a new world and a new culture. It is a controversial world where racism ruled. She focused on the importance of deleting the stereotypes that were associated with black people long ago and take a stand against racism. Students interacted actively with her giving their comments. They even had a chance to ask her questions which she was glad to answer. Reporters from Al- Akhbar Newspaper and Now Lebanon were also present during the presentation. A special thank you goes to the British Council for such a wonderful opportunity!

A Day At Our School

The exploration of a typical school day experienced by students in a different part of the world was an excellent way for our students to understand and appreciate other cultures. This encourgaed them to think about their own routines and ways of life. Students got a chance to compare and contrast these routines with friends just like them living in Alabama, USA. It was a fantastic experience full of excitement and achievements. We'd like to thank you our friends and we hope to connect again at the beginning of the next school year.

Sharing is Caring

We were happy to participate in the " Garage Sale" that took place last Saturday at Makassed Abi Bakr Al Sedeeq.The school decided to have a garage sale in which used items that are still in good condition were sold. The aim was to raise money for the Dream Room at Makassed General Hospital for treating children's cancer. It was a very kind notion from Makassed Abi Bakr Al Sedeeq and our cycle two students were ready to share in this special event. They went to Abi Bakr accompanied by their teachers and spent an hour of fun buying games and beautiful things. They even had their faces painted by different shapes and colors. Thank you Mrs. Aida Ghandour and all the teachers of Makassed Abi Bakr Al Sedeeq for hosting this special event and for giving us the opportunity to take part in it.We are all part of the Makassed family and we should always join efforts to help in making a difference proving that together we achieve more.
