Founder's Day and Independence Day 2023

Our school celebrated Founder's Day and Lebanese Independence Day on Wednesday 22 November 2023. The program started at 2.00 PM with the national anthem and an opening prayer. The director then delivered his message on both occasions reminding students that many people lost their independence and nationhood in history. The wonderful Syrian Orphanage in Jerusalem was lost because of war. The only way for humanity is to adhere to democratic principles, the rule of constitutional law, and equal rights to all. Peace is the only way for prosperity and development. War brings nothing but death, destruction, and suffering to all parties. This is why the mission of JLSS is peace education. He called all JLSS students to reject all forms of war and to be ambassadors of peace wherever they go.
The program then followed with music, singing, poetry, dance, and sketches. The students performed exceptionally well reflecting their creativity and happiness. It was very clear that so much hard work was put in preparation. The decoration of the stage was creative and beautiful. It was a great joy to finally hear JLSS children singing correctly to the tunes of songs. This is the fruit of the hard work of our music teacher, Mr. Joe Haddad whom we thank and congratulate. He succeeded where others had failed. The whole program was a great joy to everyone.
We thank all our students and teachers for the wonderful celebration of both occasions.
