ACT READY! The ACT Test Prep Course
Sean Simon, PhD
Four classes two hours each from 10am-12pm, 2/03, 2/10, 2/24, 3/02 (No lesson on 2/17 for President's Day weekend)
Registration Deadline is Jan 26th.
Welcome to ACT READY! The ACT Test Prep Course at Dayton Mercy Society in collaboration with Islamic Society of Greater Society. We had such a great turn out last time that we have decided to add another one month session. This intensive course conducted by a master coach will prepare high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors for the ACT college entrance exam. Students learn test-taking strategies and essential knowledge for the four test sections of English, Math, Reading, and Science. As we cover test-taking methods geared specifically for the ACT and review homework assignments, students will gain confidence in their test-taking abilities and strengthen their knowledge in the core areas of grammar, reading comprehension, algebra, and geometry. A few points on this important exam can make all the difference on a college application! To stay cost effective, there be no required book. Students will be required to print a 25 page double-sided test from a pdf file, which will be sent ahead of time.

In the past several days, over one thousand people were killed in Gaza strip, over five thousand people injured and over 200 thousand people were displaced from their homes seeking a safer refuge. Our team on the ground in Gaza is in direct contact with the doctors and hospitals and assessing their needs and working diligently to address them. Before the complete closure, we were able to secure medical supplies we were able to dispense these immediately. Our team is still working hard to procure the needed supplies from the local market but those are depleting very quickly. At the moment, there is a complete blockade on all ports of entry to Gaza, and we are working around the clock and collaborating with other major international organizations who work in Gaza to assess the needs and be ready to deliver your donations once humanitarian aid is allowed access. We ask you to donate generously as the list of needs that we are receiving from hospitals is extensive, and the healthcare system is struggling at the moment and overwhelmed by the number of casualties. PAMA promises to deliver your donations and directly implement them as soon as possible.
Your donations to this campaign is Zakat certified and tax deductible.

Look around DMS. What do you see?
People at Jumuah prayer inspired by a guest khateeb or enjoying and learning from a Friday evening lecture. Community Iftars, Eid dinners, and community picnics with love and fellowship. DMS leading the new and energetic DMS Young Life and building friendships through Islam. Or, how about the interfaith and outreach activities that show the very best of our religion and community?
DMS is supported by its attenders. Without their gifts it would be impossible to offer programs that help sustain our masjid. Imaginewhat would happen if 100% of DMS's regular attenders took the step to become a sustained giver? These are just a few things that could be possible insha'Allah:
- Creation of new internal programs to help advance the DMS mission.
- Expansion of initiatives for DMS Young Life and Outreach.
Is My Gift Tax-Deductible?
All contributions are tax-deductible. A check must be used for your gift to be tax-deductible. Statements are mailed at the end of the year to help you keep track of your giving.
4 Easy Ways to Give
- 1. Give specifically to DMS Outreach
- You can transfer your donation directly to DMS Outreach's account which is through PNC: 4105286728. Remember for tax deduction a check must be used.

- 3. Give in person
