										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout the month of May, our <strong>GRFS High School Girls Mentorship Program</strong> organized a variety of meaningful outings and activities for students in <strong>Grades 9–11</strong>.</p>
<p>These special gatherings gave students the opportunity to explore new places, express their creativity, build friendships, spend quality time with mentors, and create lasting memories together.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 9 students</strong> enjoyed a fun pottery painting experience, where they explored their creativity, designed unique pieces, and shared meaningful time with friends and mentors.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 10 students</strong> visited the beautiful village of Elora, exploring local boutiques, cafés, bookstores, artisan shops, scenic attractions, and the charming surroundings of Elora Mill and Victoria Park. The day was filled with discovery, laughter, friendship, and memorable moments.</p>
<p><strong>Grade 11 students</strong> spent the day in Toronto, where they explored the city and enjoyed a bike ride around Toronto Islands. With beautiful waterfront views, great food, and plenty of fun, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect, strengthen friendships, and enjoy the city together.</p>
<p>These monthly outings are an important part of our mentorship program. They provide students with opportunities for personal growth, meaningful conversations, community building, leadership development, and unforgettable shared experiences.</p>
<p>We sincerely thank all of our mentors, students, and families for making these moments so special.</p>
<p>At GRFS, we are proud to support youth through mentorship, friendship, guidance, and opportunities that help them grow with confidence, connection, and a strong sense of belonging.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, on International Day of Education, we honor the transformative power of knowledge. Education is a fundamental human right, as recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, fostering dignity, equality, and societal progress. ?<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2728.png" alt="✨" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>In Islam, education holds a sacred place, seen as a divine duty and an act of worship. It nurtures personal growth and collective well-being, forming the cornerstone of a just and thriving community. ??</p>
<p>As Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Whoever takes a path to seek knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for them.” ??</p>
<p>Let’s strive for a brighter future by empowering ourselves and others through education. Love knowledge, love growth, love each other. ?</p>
