In Q2 46% Students Are in the Principal's List

In the recently concluded second quarter, 46% of the students qualified to be in the Principal's List. In order for students to figure in the Principal's List, they have to score all A's (with a maximum of one B allowed). The Q2 numbers reflect a 25% increase in the number of students in the Principal's List compared to Q1.
Thanks to the initiatives undertaken by Mrs. Williams and her team, academics at Al-Amal are on an upswing. Congratulations to Al-Amal teachers for their dedication and commitment.

Al-Amal Expansion - Financial Update
| | |
$363,000 still remains to be paid off
Since July 2011, Al-Amal School has paid off $55,000 of the personal loans given towards the school expansion project. The construction of the Middle/High school building was completed in 2007 for a total cost of about $2.8 million. Alhamdulillah, with the support of parents and other community members, the school raised and has paid off $2.44 million (87%) of the total cost.
Al-Amal School continues to seek your generous support to pay off the remaining $363,000 of the personal loans. Our goal is to raise and pay off about $150,000 in this fiscal year.
