We hope this message finds you well. In our ongoing efforts to improve the parking situation at ICNEF, we would like to inform you of a temporary change in parking arrangements.
Tomorrow, the community will be required to park at the mass clinic, as construction work is underway in the parking area adjacent to the school building. This temporary adjustment is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone in the community and facilitate the construction process.
We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period. The construction work is aimed at enhancing the overall facilities at ICNEF, and we believe the end result will greatly benefit the entire community.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the temporary parking arrangement, please feel free to reach out for assistance.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to improve our community facilities.

RAMADAN SCHOOL PROJECT
As-salamu alaykum,
I'm pleased to announce that Ramadan is almost here, and it's time for us to collaborate on creating Ramadan Gift Baskets for our schools.
For those unfamiliar with this project, its purpose is to introduce the school staff and faculty to Ramadan, ensuring that our children are acknowledged, and we establish a presence in the community. We plan to provide them with a tray of goodies accompanied by a card containing information about Ramadan. Thanks to your support, last year's initiative was successful, and we are grateful to Allah and each one of you for making it possible. Insha Allah, this year, we aim to make it even better by reaching more schools than in previous years.
Please take a moment to view pictures of some schools we visited last year through the following link.

We also extended our outreach to most of the Jacksonville Public libraries, fire stations, and the Sheriff's Office. This initiative serves as an excellent form of dawah, so even if you don't have children in school, we encourage you to come forward and support.
Our objective is to deliver the gift trays to all schools by March 1st, before Ramadan begins on March 10th.
If you wish to contribute financially, you can use Venmo (Rakshinda) or Zelle (904 534 3370).
If you'd like to participate or have a child in a school and want to present them with a Ramadan Gift tray, please contact me at 904 534 3370.
We eagerly look forward to your support!
JazakAllah Khair
