At the heart of Eid Al-Adha is a spirit of generosity and gratitude values that bring people closer and remind us of what truly matters. As we celebrate this blessed occasion, we are grateful for the incredible families, educators and students who bring that spirit to life within our school every single day. Wishing you and everyone you hold dear a joyful, peaceful and blessed Eid.

Eid Mubarak from our school to you. 🤍✨

ASD’s high school student clubs came together to celebrate service, gratitude and community during the Eid Appreciation Event held on Saturday, May 16, on the ASD campus. 🌙✨

Co-hosted by the Compassion Action Club alongside the Parent Teacher Group, Best Buddies, Helping Hands and Habitat for Humanity, the event honored ASD’s custodial staff for their dedication to maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming environment for the school community.

More than 70 custodians were recognized and enjoyed a catered lunch and special giveaways thoughtfully prepared by ASD students. Through meaningful acts of kindness and hospitality, students demonstrated ASD’s commitment to compassion, leadership and community engagement. 💙

Special thanks to Ms. Rasha Al Nasr, Ms. Kat Oefelein and Mr. Richard Smith for organizing the event and for their continued support and guidance of ASD students as they lead impactful community initiatives that reflect the school’s core values.

🚀🪐 Innovation is taking off in STEM class as students work on an exciting mega project: designing and building a three-dimensional colony on Mars.

As they create their colonies, students are exploring the major differences between Earth and Mars, including climate, atmosphere, gravity and living conditions to design spaces that support safety, comfort, entertainment and a high quality of life for future residents.

Through research, creativity, collaboration and problem-solving, students are bringing their visions of life on Mars to reality with detailed 3D models. 🌌🔬✨

We look forward to sharing the final outcomes of this exciting project soon!

Exploring the Kingdom through collaboration and learning! 📚✨

Last week in Arabic class, ASD middle school students took part in an interactive, hands-on activity focused on the regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Working in teams, students collaborated with their peers to identify, name and locate regions across the country while strengthening their geography and Arabic language skills.

The activity encouraged communication, teamwork and critical thinking as students connected classroom learning to the culture and geography of Saudi Arabia in an engaging and meaningful way.

Leadership, mentorship and fun in action! 🌟🏃‍♂️
