Assalamu Alaikum dear parents,&nbsp; Congratulations on your child(ren) being pre-selected for our Pilot Qur&#39;an Memorization Program. The teacher have spent at least one school year evaluating your child(ren), and consider them ready to memorize the Qur&#39;an based on the pre-requisites they set. This does not mean other children are not capable, but after thorough assessments of skills, motivation, and effort alongside logistical limitation - the teachers have made their final recommendations.&nbsp; Please make sure to pay the $60 tuition for this 1-month program that will be held Tuesday - Thursday for the next four weeks. JazakAllahKhair,&nbsp;

RAPTA Family Field Trip @ Exotic Zoo (Johnson City, TX)

Assalamu Alaikum Renaissance Academy Families, Alhamdulillah - we are moving. When we launched our Playground &amp; Outdoor Spaces Campaign, we asked this community to show up. And you did. We are now at 63% of our goal, and the work has already begun. Progress is underway - and if you&#39;ve driven by recently, you may have already seen it happening.&nbsp; We are less than $10,000 away from the finish line. If you&#39;ve been waiting for the right moment - this is it! Whether it&#39;s $250, $500, or more, every contribution at this stage has real, visible impact. You&#39;re not funding a idea anymore. You&#39;re completing something. Something your child will use every single day. For those just hearing about this: here&#39;s what we&#39;re building together.&mdash;&mdash;WHAT WE&#39;RE BUILDING A wider soccer field &mdash; so our middle and high schoolers have real room to play. Anyone who&#39;s watched them squeeze into that narrow space knows exactly what we mean. A dividing fence between the preschool area and the main field - so our littlest ones can have their outdoor time without pausing activity for everyone else. Our older students shouldn&#39;t have to come inside or play on the parking lot because the preschoolers are out. And our preschoolers deserve their own safe, protected space. Dedicated turf in front of the preschool playscape - soft, clean, and purpose-built for our youngest learners.&mdash;&mdash;This isn&#39;t about aesthetics. Every one of these improvements solves a real, daily problem for our students and staff. The fence means smoother transitions. The turf means our preschoolers aren&#39;t playing on uneven ground. The wider field means our older students finally have space to just be teenagers. Share the link with family, friends, your neighbors - let them be part of something good too. The more we spread it, the faster we get there. Make it sadaqah jariyah - the kind that keeps giving every time a child runs, plays, and laughs on this campus, insha&#39;Allah. JazakAllah Khair for building this with us. We can&#39;t wait to show you the finished result! Principal UmarRenaissance Academy | racademy.org
