As Salaamu alaikum Everyone,
I hope everyone is getting through the semester and all its demands with flying colors. As you go into Fall Break, please take some time to enjoy the time off and do something fun that you always wanted to do but may have been hesitant to do and, most importantly, REST! Then you will be ready to partake in all the Homecoming activities we have planned next weekend!
Enjoy your time off and I look forward to seeing you all next weekend.
Peace, love and light,
Samaiyah
