Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmetullahi wa baraakatuhu,

We pray that you and your families are having a pleasant and blessed fall season.

Research has proven that children benefit academically and emotionally when their parents/guardians are involved in their education. Parent volunteers offer a huge resource and support base for the school and Abraar School welcomes this warmly.

This letter is a desperate call to Abraar Parents to join The Parents Support Team (PST). 

Current State of PST: 

Due to the lack of parent volunteers, the current PST will now cater to the activities of the Primary School only. The current team consists of the following members:

PST Elementary: (responsible for activities in the Fieldrow Branch)
