Dear Parents,

We hope this email finds you well. We are excited to invite you to a special event focused on food safety and nutrition, which will be held at the school theater on Wednesday, September 27^th . This event aims to emphasize the importance of ensuring the safety of the food we consume and understanding the significance of proper nutrition.

The program for the event will cover various aspects related to food safety. We will discuss essential food safety terms, symptoms of food poisoning, and ways to protect yourself and your family from such incidents. Additionally, we will explore factors that contribute to protecting your food, Proper hand washing techniques will also be demonstrated, as this is a crucial step in preventing contamination.

Furthermore, we will address common mistakes often made in our oriental kitchen settings that can compromise food safety. By highlighting these errors, we aim to provide practical knowledge that can be applied in everyday cooking practices.

In addition to food safety, we understand the importance of proper nutrition for overall health and well-being. Therefore, a dedicated presentation on nutrition will be included in the program. This presentation will cover topics such as how to eat mindfully and how to compose your daily meal intake with major nutrients in mind.

We believe that attending this event will equip you with valuable knowledge and skills that can benefit both you and your family's health. It is an excellent opportunity for parents to learn together and create a safer environment when it comes to food preparation.

 The Egyptian Schools

(Oct. 8^th – Nov. 30^th)

Dear parents,

Every child has the right to learn!

  Millions of children in Egypt are denied the right to education because they are unable to pay the fees.

With a kind heart and a simple donation, we can keep a child in school.

EDUCATION IS A BASIC RIGHT

Let us instill in our children the will to bring about change and development to our Society.

Last year target was EGP 60,000 to cover 200 students but we were able to raise almost 150,000 EGP and covered school expenses for 425 students  who have the right to be educated.

This year we aim to help 500 students by reaching a target of 200,000 EGP!!

 

Let’s help reach for this academic school year!!!!

 

Please send your donations in a closed envelope titled “Donate to Educate” with your child’s name to the student organizer / teachers responsible for your class on or before November 30^th, 2023.

We will soon be holding a GARAGE SALE of unclaimed, good quality SCHOOL UNIFORM ITEMS that have been dry cleaned, sorted and prepared for you! All proceeds will go toward school tuition for those who need it!  More info to come soon!

ELS CHARITY – Introduction to Charity Campaigns 23-24

At the Egyptian Schools we believe in having an active role in the community. Since our mission & vision is teaching for life, our Helping Hands Charity Campaigns are designed to incorporate elements that would implement and enhance students life skills and the 6 keys.

With a focus on citizenship, these campaigns grow within our students respect for differences, empathy and awareness of surroundings, responsibility towards community, and an understanding of the concept of giving back, creating the cornerstones of a good citizen.

Through organized charity and community service programs our students' learning includes but is not limited to:

- teamwork, project management & decision making

- critical thinking and reasoning

- fundraising & marketing

- public speaking and presentation skills

 

This is of course in addition to instilling the core sense of responsibility for those less fortunate than themselves in the community.

 

Each of the Egyptian Schools’ Helping Hands campaigns is student run and guided by mentor teachers and staff.

 

The following are the 7 campaigns for the 2023-24 academic year. 

 

1) Donate to Educate (October- December)

This campaign aims to raise money for governmental students in the surrounding area to pay to sit for government exams. Last year we surpassed our target by more than double and were able to pay for 425 students.  This year we aim to help 500 students and this year we have added a special garage sale to be help even more!!  Students from grades 5,6 and 7 will lead this campaign.

2) ELS Foster (Ongoing Process)

ELS will be responsible for specific orphanages within the vicinity of each campus. Students from grades 10 and 11 will lead the Egyptian Schools community in working together to meet their needs through visits, activities, donations and fundraising. We look forward to our groundbreaking Foster Iftar in Ramadan!

3) Dolab el- Kheir (November -December)

The Egyptian Schools community will donate packaged clothing and blankets to various local orphanages as well as Masr El Kheir. Students help to organize, package and deliver the donations ensuring ways to make others happy.  Grade 8 students will lead this amazing program targeting to collect and distribute 2500 pieces.

 

4) Kolena Mesa7araty (December through March)

This is a grand scale Ramadan bag campaign that targets specific rural areas. Students collect donations, buy items in bulk, and the entire school community helps pack and distribute the bags. With increasing costs we commit to meet a target of 1500 bags and have added donation of food items to our program.  High school students from grades 10, 11, and 12 will lead the school community in this endeavor.

5) Carnival (March)

Students literally work to raise money for this campaign. Via a weekly school canteen students plan, fundraiser for, and produce their own play. Additionally grade 9 students organize an annual themed carnival. All profit from the plays and carnival are donated 100% to the entity chosen which will be announced later.

 

6) Family Day (December)

Following in the footsteps of their grade 9 peers, grades 5 & 6 are the organizers of this amazing family event that includes a marathon, sports tournaments, student shows and a bazaar.  Elementary families from all branches join in creating core memories and contributing to charity!

 

7) Community Service (Ongoing process)

In addition to charity, each individual school is committed to various community service activities designed to engage students in interactive activities that go beyond money collection. You will receive more elaboration on these activities.

 

Note the timeline of the projects above and mark them on your calendars. Together, the Egyptian Schools Helping Hands community can make a tremendous change.
