Arabic Online Learning Pilot Program
Based on the feedback we received from the Shura meeting, we have initiated several measures to address parent's concerns related to learning and conversational Arabic. ACA has partnered with Al-Kitaab Arabic Language Program to implement an Arabic Online Learning pilot program. We will accept the first 20 students from grades 6-12 and provide one year of online learning access for a fee of $100. This program is geared for beginner level and basic conversational skills.
Spring Book Fair
The Spring Book Fair was a success! We even had a visit from “Clifford The Big Red Dog”! Alhamdulillah, we reached our goal of over $2600.00 profit, giving teachers the opportunity to spend $100 each in scholastic dollars on books for their classrooms all the way from Montessori to 12th grade! Thank you all who came and showed your support! Below are some pictures from the event!

Lack of Sleep in Teens and Increased Risk of Heart Disease
Teens are getting less sleep these days and it could make them more likely to suffer from heart disease as adults.
In a study published in the Pediatrics journal , researchers found that those who got less sleep had higher “metabolic risk scores.” They were more likely to have belly fat, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood lipids, as well as insulin resistance, which also increases the risk of diabetes.
