International Week
This week Ms Qato will be hosting International Week for elementary students. Students will be learning about many Muslim countries and exhibit their foods, clothing, and culture. We hope the students will learn how we are all different but very alike in many ways through shared traditions, customs and our love for Allah (SWT).

Students who qualify will have the opportunity to receive scholarships through the
State of Illinois to attend private schools, including Aqsa School.
