Middle School Goes Muslim For The Month Of November –
The middle school, which teaches grades 6th through 8th,
houses roughly 300 students during its nine month school year. Each day of November curriculum will start
with a prayer to Allah. Children will then repeat an Islamic pledge of
allegiance to Afghanistan’s flag. Studies will include Arabic reading and
writing, Islamic history and Qumran study to name a few.
Traditional Islamic meals will also be served in the
cafeteria. The month-long celebration will culminate in a two-hour school play
about the life and teachings of the prophet Mohammed.
Parents will be required to purchase new school uniforms;
Abayas for the girls and Thobes for boys. Failure to partake in the month’s
activities will lead to a failing mark and the child being forced to take the
grade over.
