As well, some grade 7 and 8 students have joined "Kid's Alliance", and in doing so they have represented the school in community events as well as sponsor neighbourhood cleanup days in which grade 4-8 students have cleaned up the school neighbourhood. School Library It is with great pleasure and much hard work, from a few volunteers, to announce that the school now has a fully functional library. Both fiction and non-fiction English and Arabic books are available for student use.
