Aisha (R) narrates: I never saw the Messenger of Allah fast for a
complete month except for Ramadan, and I never saw him fast more in any
month than he did in Shaban. (Bukhari)

Ramadan Planner ContestOpen to 9th & 10th graders, students are encouraged to create their own unique one-page Ramadan Planner. The flyer was given to students in class, along with samples. The winning design will be shared with the school community. The deadline is March 19th. Submissions should be mailed to principal@mecsundayschool.org. 

Resuming In-Person Assembly For Students
We are looking to resume assembly in the gym for students starting the first week of Ramadan, In Sha Allah. Parents are requested to drop their students off as usual. Due to the number of students, we are not allowing anyone aside from staff to attend the assembly. Assembly will start at 10:05 am to 10:15 am and have the morning dua and announcements. Classes will start at 10:15 am.
