The Maher Abdallah Saidi Room

The multipurpose room in the new South Building (of the new elementary school) is now the Maher abdallah Saidi Multipurpose room thanks to a generous parent donor who prefers to remain anonymous. Mr Saidi – a late relative of the donor – graduated from IC in 1961 then earned a degree in architecture at the university of tennessee. He passed away in 2010.

IC’s Youngest Donor

Meet’s IC’s youngest donor in the Partnership for Excellence Campaign so far: 7-year-old Zaki Fawwas. He started saving his allowance a month ago when he picked up the IC Newsletter and a donation envelope fell out. His mother explained to him that the envelope was for anyone who would like to donate some money to the school. That’s when Zaki decided to he would like to fill up the envelope with his allowance. His surprised parents agreed. “I was pleased,” said his father, Hadi Fawaz ’90, an auditor and financial consultant. “I myself loved studying at IC and I’m glad that my son loves it here so much that he wants to donate his money.” On May 10th, Zaki and his father showed up at the president’s office where Zaki handed in his envelope – with 100,000 LL - in it to John Johnson. “I usually buy toys with my money,” said Zaki. “I’ve got lots already. This time, I want to give my money to IC because I like my school.”
