Polar Expressions Writing Contest 2016

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,

The Grade 6 students will once again be participating in the annual Polar Expressions Writing contest for students across Canada. The students will be writing a short story that must not exceed 450 words. The story should be original and not use any fan fiction or real names. It must also be Islamically appropriate, as some of the stories will be published and our students will be representing Abraar School. Students are asked to submit their typed short stories on Tuesday, November 15. In addition, they can submit a poem (32 lines or less) by Tuesday, November 1 (optional). I look forward to reading the students' creative submissions!

Thanks for your ongoing cooperation,
Tr. Salma
