BHA Kindness Week Main

Every act of kindness is charity- Prophet Muhammad sallahu alayhi wa salam. 

This week has been filled with opportunities to showcase our kindness at BHA and many events were held around school sponsored by the Behavioral Counselors, StuCo and UNICEF!

On Monday, we had a guest speaker come, Officer Allen, who spoke about bullying prevention along with the dangers one can fall into through discipline at school and even through the law by bullying. Students received prizes and had an interactive learning session. Our theme of the day was Kindness is a superpower. Students wore superhero themed shirts. Our act of kindness was to hold the door open for others. Students received motivational pins made by StuCo. 

On Tuesday, Shaykh Abdullah Oduru, Imam at the Islamic Center of Coppell and fellow at Yaqeen Institute joined our MS and HS students with a real and hard-hitting talk on integrity and what it means to be a believer in Allah. Our theme was Our future is brighter when we are kind. Students dressed in bright hijabs and shirts. Students received goody bags from UNICEF and StuCo. The kind act of the day was to spread salaam!

Wednesday, our theme was kindness is a team sport. Students wore sports jerseys and shirts. Their kind deed of the day was to help a friend or teacher at school. UNICEF sold flowers with kind notes to students. 

Thursday's theme was kindness is always classy and students wore their very best. They were encouraged to check up on a friend or family member as the kind act of the day. Students received slap bands as a means to brighten their day. 

Friday, students were encouraged to help parents at home with a chore or task. Students wore blue to highlight that the sky is the limit. Always be kind. A fun scavenger hunt was held by finding kindness rocks around the school. 

Struggling in a class or with a concept? Don't let it defeat you!

Here's a tip from former BHA students on how to conquer your classes- 

Khan Academy has all kinds of material and on different topics and its free! Khan Academy material really solidified our understanding and allowed us to hit those high A's even in concepts that are very difficult to grasp. Hearing the concepts again, reinforced our learning.

How Khan Academy helps-

• Tutoring: Tutoring for classes you're currently taking!
• Gap in learning: If you feel you have a gap in learning because of distance learning from the pandemic, this is how you will bridge the gap!
• Customized Test Prep: Also, when you're ready to study for the PSATs and/or SATs, Khan Academy will take your PSAT/SAT results and create a tailored tutoring plan that focuses only on the concepts you need the help on! And again, this is free!
• Preparing: You can prepare for the next grade level to avoid learning loss in the summer
