Alumni Solidarity

Alumni Solidarity
Not letting anyone, including ourselves compromise our connecting thread…..Not allowing the work and sacrifices of our Parents and School Pioneers to be in vain.
For over thirty years this organization, the National Alumni Association which is a public charitable trust 501(c)(3) corporation has had to blow our own horn and whistles to remind ourselves, communities and the world as to just how special and unique we are (schools, students and alumni) and, our contributions to Black history, American history and Educational history and we should not and we cannot let these achievements be forgotten or denied. This is why the NAA believes in the importance of making sure today’s schools are competitors and offering the very best educational tools of today and yesterday.
We All agree that our education was excellent!
Our assistance to the schools, student and teachers Does make a big difference in this school system's survival!
Giving Back and making sure the next generation of Alumni have all they need at schools including teachers, prevailing wages and brick and mortar facilities of the 21st Century and evolving as needed.
This takes money, time , patience, commitment and energy.
We still have pioneers holding down schools and programs waiting for Alumni, the next generation, concern individuals, volunteers, philanthropist, and sponsors to return or get involve.
DEFINING ALUMNI
The Clara Muhammad School System has had challenges in its (90+) years in existence.
When we formed the NAA, our formation documents purposely defined Alumni, as a student that attended a Muhammad School (for a certain school period), graduated or may not have had the opportunity to graduate due to no fault of their own. You put in the work, your an Alum.
Diversity is not a new concept it was a School policy from the very beginning. When we started the school one home was used to Home School black children in the community. Later down the road, many of us attended Muhammad Schools around the US and abroad and a majority of our fellow students were not Muslim but in fact Christian and other from the area communities.
Fact, the Clara Muhammad-Mohammed School System is the first National African American School System. The Bermuda Clara Mohammed School is open and operating at full capacity/.
Why the NAA initiatives, programs, campaigns, and projects are so important, and we think worthy of your attention and support.
National Digitalize and Archive Campaign is a Project for the Muhammad-Mohammed School’s Student Records.
SOS, is the Save Our School, is a program were the NAA offers to host a Fundraiser for a Clara Muhammad-Mohammed School. The school is chosen and then the school informed. Once the school accepts the offer conversations begin as to what they need and how we can assist.
This is the perfect opportunity to Volunteer.
We have so many "Muhammad-Mohammed School(s)" Students and Alumni with skills and knowledge to offer the school system, program and the student,

Sister Artice was one of two School Secretaries for the University of Islam and Clara Muhammad School in Los Angeles. Sister Artice beloved pioneer and archivist. She alone protected, housed and maintained our School records and provided student's transcript on request for years (1980-20017) and right up until two weeks before she passed. She trained Priscilla Al-Uqdah of the National Alumni Association to carry on the Transcript Services offered and available to students and graduates.
MOTTO
Our Motto, we are not attempting to re-invent the wheel just smooth it out just a bit more to make it a better product...........The Clara Mohammed School System is proof of a successful Education Institution and program, the foundation has already been laid, we just have to take charge and making sure that the opportunity to be taught by your own is passed down to children and parents and communities.
