This year, all students are encouraged to engage in community service through different initiatives.
Every month, Grades 3 – 5 volunteers two hours (during the school day) on a Friday to support Durham Food Bank.
In October, we kicked off Socktober. Students in Pre-K through Grade 5 collected socks for the homeless and refugees.
We are excited about giving and helping our community!

Please see the links below; flyer and registration form for Summer Camp at Al Huda Academy. Spaces are limited.
As this year comes to a close, our dear principal Sister Zainab has some tips for our parents on how encourage your kids to continue learning during the Summer time. And of course, she’s made it fun and easy for us to remember by utilizing our school name, AL-HUDA to remember the tips!
A – Always Make Time for Learning
Set aside time for your student to read each day during the summer break — 15 to 30 minutes per day is all it takes! During the summer, students have more time to read for enjoyment, which also offers a great opportunity to preserve and strengthen their reading skills. Your summer activities should include taking your children or teenagers to the public library to check out books of interest and/or any summer reading groups they’d like to join.
L – Learn and Practice Specific Skills
Pinpoint the subjects your child had the most trouble learning the previous school year, and make sure to fit in some practice in these areas. Summer is an ideal time to set aside just 15 to 30 minutes a day for helping your student on areas of difficulty. Again, use every resource available to you! Parents are not helpless when it comes to their child’s education. Online resources and teacher supply stores offer a wide variety of learning materials, workbooks, computer games, and other types of games to reinforce and strengthen scholastic skills. Students may wish to play learning games with their friends to help make the time fly by and make learning more fun.
H – Have a Creative Writing Journal
Creative writing is a great way to improve your children’s written language skills while giving them a fun and imaginative activity during the summer! Have your student write a creative paragraph each week. As a parent, you can help by assisting him or her with choosing a “topic” (such as a family vacation, special outing or holiday memory) to write at least a paragraph about. Students can also benefit from using a thesaurus and changing several common words to more interesting words. This will make their writing more interesting while learning great new words at the same time.
U – Understanding the Meaning/Improving Reading Comprehension
To help your children better understand what they’re reading, consider offering them a reading comprehension workbook to work on several minutes daily. These can be found at teacher supply stores or many online outlets. Students of all grades and ability levels can benefit scholastically by working with material that offers self-quizzes and high-interest stories. This practice helps develop their fact-retaining and inference-making skills.
D – Develop Math Skills
Though it may not seem fun to them at the time, working on just three to four math problems per day during the summer can prevent students’ mathematical skills from getting rusty. They can look at it as a daily challenge that they must complete, or a daily “to-do” to proudly check off their calendar. Parents can purchase a math workbook for their child’s academic level at most bookstores. Working on just a few problems daily (or more, if your child enjoys math) can help students of all ages close the gaps in their math skills, preserve what they learned during the previous school year, and prepare for the next.
A – Always have FUN!!!
“Over the summer, students and parents who practice the above tips can see great strengthening and improvement in scholastic skills, and avoid digressing two to three months in learning. Summer learning can be fun and challenging at the same time. Students may find learning to be more fun as they become more capable of meeting scholastic challenges and overcoming any learning weaknesses. By implementing a summer plan and igniting your child’s passion for learning, he or she can enjoy a renewed sense of academic self-esteem and dignity — wonderful benefits of learning not to be “counted out”.” – Barbara Dianis
As the Principal at Al-Huda Academy, it is an honor to have the opportunity to serve such an outstanding community. It is my desire to work with you, your child, and the staff to continue to foster a strong sense of community in order to increase student achievement.
I truly believe strong partnerships between parents and staff lead to academic success for all students. Therefore, I invite you to visit our school, your school, and to actively participate in your child’s education. This participation may come in a variety of forms including: working as a volunteer at the school, checking your child’s homework and agenda on a daily basis, attending school-wide events and communicating questions or concerns to me and the teachers.
Sincerely,
Zainab Abdul-Qaabidh
