Serving Allah by Serving Others

Over the next two months, Granada students will have a chance to serve our school community, our neighbors, and children overseas. Here are the planned events (Letter):

  • GIS fundraiser (April 29) - Ticket Sale Flyer
  • Free E-Waste Recycling Event with Hope Services (May 5) - Flyer
  • Walk-a-Thon to raise funds for grass area (May 30)

Walk-a-Thon (May 30)

GIS will be having a walkathon at school on Wednesday, May 30th.  The purpose of the walkathon is to raise money for artificial grass which will cover the area outside of Crescent Cuisine.  The artificial turf will beautify the school campus and increase the play area for our children.  We are asking for the support of all the parents.  Pledge forms have gone home with your student today.  Please ask your student to collect pledges from family, friends and neighbors.  Pledges may be made as an amount per lap, or may be made as a flat donation.
