On Wednesday, May 27th Iqra Islamic School hosted an Eid drive-through celebration. The event was hugely successful, with over 150 families partaking in the festivities. Freezies and goody bags were served, and – after weeks of isolation – Iqra students and their families were able to celebrate together. Though this Eid was unique for the entire Muslim world, the covid-19 pandemic did not stop our local institutions from celebrating on this joyous occasion.
