Lunch Information
We serve a slice of pizza and water to all our students. If children want a second slice, they can purchase it for $1/slice. You are welcome to send your children with lunch if you prefer something other than pizza. However, please make sure it is nut-free. You’re encouraged to send the kids with a spill-proof water bottle, as well.
Allergies: Some children are not able to partake in the cheese pizza lunch due to various food allergies. In an effort to accommodate children with food allergies, we will provide alternate snacks. Only children listed on our allergy list will be offered one of the alternative snacks based upon food allergies indicated at the time of school registration. Please fill out this form to select a snack for your child if they have allergies.
After School Food Sale: Temporarily paused.
We have a food sale after school every Sunday starting at 1:30pm. We try to have pizza, a variety of snacks, and occasionally food items from local restaurants or our in-house MEC Chef. All proceeds from food sales go to fund programs and activities for our Sunday school.
Quran/Tajweed Resources
A list of quran and tajweed programs in the local community and online has been compiled to assist parents of MEC sunday school students in finding additional assistance. Please click here to view. If you would like to recommend any individual or group based on your personal experience for this list please email their contact information to pto@mecsundayschool.org. We will be happy to contact them and review how they can be added to our list.
Parent Activities: Temporarily paused.
We have a program for parents of Sunday school students where we discuss topics relevant to us. Please note the new timing for this program. Why not come in for a discussion while you wait for students to be dismissed. We meet on a biweekly basis and adopt a topic to discuss. The program will be led by our teacher and Theology department head, Sister Hannah Sattar. We hope everyone will use this opportunity to meet fellow parents and learn from each other.

Community Service
Temporarily pausedMEC Sunday School will be hosting their first Bagged Lunch event in collaboration with Project Rizq!
Making fresh bagged lunches for people in need will be an opportunity for students to realize and acknowledge the reality of hunger in our communities. Through the process they will see how they can make a positive impact first hand.
Students will make lunches consisting of bagels and cream cheese, fruits, snacks, and a drink. They will also write a personalized note for each recipient. These lunches will then be delivered to a community center and soup kitchen, Cornerstone, in the city for distribution.
This event takes place on February 9th. We welcome donations of juice boxes or packaged snacks from all participants. Please send these in by February 2nd so we can plan accordingly for additional supplies.
Following is brief overview about Project Rizq:
Parent Survey: Temporarily paused.
The results are in from the parent survey conducted in the 2019-2020 school year. Many concerns came up as a result of this survey and the school will ensure that all of them are addressed adequately, inshAllah. To view results click here.
