Assalamu alaikum,
Ramadan Mubarak to everyone! May Allah (SWT) make it a blessed month and shower all of us with His mercy, forgiveness, health, and free us from the Hell fire.
We have decided to extend the Art Contest due date to April 15th.
The Poem Contest and the Art Contest will both be due on April 15th.
Use the break time to be creative and have a chance to win a prize! Winners will be announced after Ramadan, and they will be rewarded at the NHS bazaar, insha’Allah.

We would also like to announce that we are extending the collection date for the Eid Bazaar to Wednesday, April 12 from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm insha’Allah at the ICSD Extension parking lot. We are encouraging you to donate any extra new items or in an excellent shape. All the raised fund will be for charity and Ramadan contests.
If this time does not work for you and you would like to still donate items, please contact us asap at bha.nhs@issdweb.org or bha.njhs@issdweb.org. We will accommodate you as much as possible.
