Public Schools: Outreach for Inclusive Environments | Dr. Suzy Ismail | ICNA Dawah Conf 2020
Public Schools: Outreach for Inclusive Environments As educators traverse the new domain of virtual and hybrid education, traditional classroom challenges may include an added dimension of complexity taking into account both student and teacher socio-emotional wellness. Applying a holistic approach to education necessitates understanding the intertwined layers of mental, social, spiritual, and emotional resilience and how these layers may be severely impacted by the shift in education mediums. This talk will outline an initiative to reach out to educators in public schools via live workshops, booths and presentations at Teachers’ Conferences, outreach booths at major Book Fairs.

Islamic Association of Erie, ICNA Relief Provide School Supplies
It’s still unknown when students in the Erie area will return to school, but that didn’t stop community groups from making sure students would be prepared when that time comes. ICNA Relief, an Islamic humanitarian outreach organization, and the Islamic Association of Erie joined together to distribute free bookbags and school supplies to families in need. The Islamic Association of Erie also distributed food from their food pantry to families as well. “There is certainly a need in the community, especially during the virus. Lot’s of low income families will be impacted, but kids are still going to go to school virtually. They would still need supplies to be able to do their studies smoothly.” Razin Karu, the outreach coordinator for Pennsylvania, said. ICNA Relief is a nationwide organization, but has chapters in different regions. The Pennsylvania chapter plans to distribute school supplies to nine cities. Erie was the first stop on the journey.
