Martin Luther King Day March

On January 17th, 2011, a group from Iman Academy SE (IASE) participated in the Martin Luther

King March in downtown Houston. The IASE group included ninth graders, the principal, assis-

tant principal, business manager, BOT president & founders. Our group was part of the greater

Houston Muslims group to support civil rights as one of our core set of beliefs. The march was

from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. The IASE group marched carrying a banner “UNITED WE CAN BUILD

A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN”. Our group was encouraged greatly by the support and

cheers received from the crowd and other marching groups and organizations. After the

march, the group enjoyed a very nice lunch together.

Kids Fun Run sponsored by Texas Children’s Hospital

On Jan. 29th, 2011, the Iman Academy SE Thunderbolts Team participated in the Kids Fun Run

sponsored by the Texas Children’s Hospital. More than 150 students from our school along with

staff & parent chaperones participated in the 1.8 mile run which took place in downtown Hou-

ston. 5000 people participated in all. There were many fun health-related activities before, dur-

ing, and after the run which took place from 11:00 A.M to 3:00 P.M. All participating students

received medals after the run. The Thunderbolts Team is part of the Iman Academy SE Strong

PTO Spring Carnival—April 23rd 2011


On April 23rd 2011, PTO held the

lah the event was well attended.

PTO raised $5,600/- which will be

used to improve the school. Many

thanks to the parent volunteers for

making this event a success! Ma-

shallah PTO has had a very suc-

cessful year. The combined contri-

bution of time, talent & donations

resulted in the success of this

school year. A very big Thank you

to every parent volunteer, teacher

& business that supported us

throughout the school year & es-

pecially during our Carnival. We

are blessed to have such a fabu-

lous group at our school who are

willing to step in and do what ever

it takes to truly make a difference

in the lives of every student at

Iman Academy SE.
