A Welcome for Ms. Heba, Our New Middle School Arabic Teacher

Dear Parents/Guardians,  “As-Salamo Alikom” Peace Be Upon You.

I am Abir Zenait, the lead Arabic teacher at ESUMS and instructor in the high school. I am writing this letter to invite you to an Introductory Welcome for the new ESUMS Arabic teacher, Ms. Heba AlKahouli, who will replace Ms. Hajjar for the rest of the year. Let’s have a little break and get closer to Ms. Heba while we enjoy my special Arabic Coffee & Sweet. The welcome will be in my room “329” between 10:00-12:00 on Monday 3/2/2015
