May 24, 2017 Dearest ECE Parents: As we look forward to the Holy Month of Ramadan, I know some of you will be travelling or making changes in your daily schedule and I may not see you at school. I am writing to let you know that my time in Qatar has come to an end. I will be leaving EMS and our wonderful ECE department at the end of this school year. Getting to work with your children and see them grow and learn has made the past three years fly by! I very much appreciate getting to know many of our wonderful Mama’s and Baba’s and am thankful for the trust and support you have given to the ECE program during my time here. The teachers at ECE are some of the most dedicated and professional women I have ever worked with. Each teacher is a vital part of the ECE team and because of each and every one of them, we were able to provide your children with an excellent early childhood education. Due to their efforts in building a unified team, we accomplished many things we can be proud of. I can leave Qatar knowing that EMS ECE is one of the best preschools in Al Khor! Please remember that next week we start on the Ramadan schedule which is 8:05am -12:20pm for all students and staff. The ECE gate will open at 7:50am, and pick up is 12:20 sharp, as teachers must leave as well. Buses will be on the Ramadan schedule. Once again, thank you for allowing me to share in a small part of the lives of your children and families. I will remember my days at ECE with joy and gratitude. Shukrun Kateer and wishing each and all Ramadan Kareem, Ms. Pasha May 24, 2017
