In light of the
recent events happening globally, a campaign
of #NotInMyName was
initiated by Muslims in
the UK. This campaign
is to send a message
that regular normal
Muslims like us condemn the barbaric acts
of a few who have de-
cided to hijack Islam. As
part of this campaign,
the Sunday School
handed out T-shirts to
all students and staff on
Sunday, November
22nd. The campaign is
aimed at sending the
message that DO NOT
COMMIT THESE ACTS
IN THE NAME OF MY
RELIGION OR NAME.
A generous
brother from the community donated these T
-shirts, so any donation/
contribution towards
the expense will be
highly appreciated.

ICJC Girl Scouts
Troop Daisy participated in
Horse Grooming Program
which provides an introduction
to horse care and learning
about horses. A team of 6 kindergarteners and first graders
enjoyed spending time with the
horses in camp Winding River
on Saturday November 7th. The
students were very excited to
get promoted to next level so
that they can learn horse riding.
Troop Brownie, Junior
and Cadette joined the Grooming and Horse Riding program
on November 8th. This program
is aimed at providing young
girls an opportunity to develop
a stronger sense of self, to foster healthy relationships with
their fellow riders, and to learn
how to take what they've experienced and feel confident
about sharing it with others.
Kristy Ladd, the Girl
Experience manager interviewed all the ICJC Girl
Scouts about their experience
of horse riding and their story
was featured in Spot Light on
Sprouts@ICJC
