Samar Al Ansari Award in Physical Education

Samar Al Ansari Award in Physical Education

School year 2012/2013


Sunday, 2 June 2013


In the Athletics Awards Night every year, the school celebrates an outstanding female Athlete by awarding her the Samar Al Ansari Award in Physical education. 

The eligible student for this award exhibits excellent sportsmanship combined with a commitment to IKNS sports and a high standard of skill in at least one sport. 

Samar Al Ansari was an IKNS student who exhibited these traits.  Samar enjoyed many sports, yet she excelled in football.  She enjoyed a high sense of fairness, self-control and respect for her team, coaches and opponents. 

Today, we celebrate these fine traits of sportsmanship, and encourage young IKNS athletes to endorse them as well.  Playing a sport is not only about winning and losing.  It is also about discipline, perseverance and courage.  This is what the Samar Al Ansari Award symbolizes, and this is what IKNS Athletes aspire to.   

In good memory of Samar, the Samar Al Ansari Award in Physical education is awarded yearly by her family to the student who best demonstrates these traits. 


This year’s the Award goes to  Danya Al Natour, Grade 10.

Deaf Ear


Empathetic and concerned
you appear,

Showing me
how close you are, and near,

And that both my daughter and I,
you very much endear.

Yet, you always give me
a deaf ear.

Whenever her name comes up,
you don’t wish to hear

You change the subject,
scared to be sad and shed a tear.

Listen, I got the message,
it is crystal clear!

But, you have created a barrier
between us, my dear,

When you don’t acknowledge
She is part of me, due to your fear.

عيد ميلادك

لقلوب التي تنبض بالحب والعطاء كل يوم هو عيد ميلادها وكل لحظة تسطر وجودها والسماء توقد لها بالصباح شمس وبالمساء قمر 

..عيد ميلاد يحمل نكهة الفرح الأمل والفرح واليوم أنا رسول أحمل لك رسالة من سمر تهديك تلك الحروف بعيد ميلادك 

على سقفِ السماء 
علقتُ نبض روحي 
تعزف كالنواقيس 
’’ولأجلك ’’ يا أمي
رتبتُ أثاث الغيوم 
وعلى السحابِ 
بنيتُ لك عرش
يباهي عرشَ بلقيــس
وزينتُ حيطان القبور
بزينة النجوم والكواكب
ومن شلال شعري
نسجتُ لهم سجادة
من العشق النفيس
اليوم سنأتي أنا والملائكة
لنحتفل بعيد ميلادك
 ....يا أمي
اليوم أنت ملكة
تاجك العواطف
وعرشك من
رحيق الاحاسيس
’’ كل نبض وأنت أمي ’’
’’ كل حب وأنت أمي ’’

’’ حبيبتك سمر ’’

"رسول الحروف ’’ لؤي طه 

وعنك لست بعيدة

..أمـــــي
لا تَحّسبي أنّي
..عنكِ بعيدة
كل مساءٍ
بعدَ أن ينعسَ القمر
وتخدرُ النجوم
أنامُ على ذرَاعِيكِ
وأضعُ تحتَ وساَدتكِ
 ..أحلام سعيدة
وحين تصحو الشمس
وأنتِ برفقتها
أجلسُ معَ فُنجانِ قهوتكِ
’’وأراقب ’’ أبي
وهوَ يَحتضن نظّرتكِ
وأحملُ حقيبة يدكِ
وأجلسُ بمقعدِ سيارتكِ
أمسحُ لكِ زجاج نظارتكِ
وأكونُ ما بينَ
صفوف طلابكِ
أتأملكِ .. أسرحُ
في موسيقى كلماتكِ
وأقومُ بشغفٍ أمسحُ
بمنديلِ روحي
حبات الفضة
من عرقكِ
..أمـــــــي
إنِّي أعيشُ معكم
..أنا لستُ وحيدة
...أنا لستُ عنك ببعيدة

’’طفلتكِ ’’ سَمر

Samar Al Ansari Award for Analytical and Critical Thinking in Economics for 2013 at IKNS


In this ceremony every year, the school celebrates an outstanding Economics student by awarding him/her the Samar Al Ansari Prize in Economics.

The eligible student for this prize excels in applying and analyzing Economic concepts and theories. He/she also shows distinguished ability to evaluate economic concepts and theories in the context of real world examples.

 Samar Al Ansari was an IKNS student and a member of the Honor Society who exhibited these qualities. Yet she was more than just a couple of accomplishments. Like any other teenager she also had many hobbies and interests. A favorite number, a love for sunsets and at some point, a hangout spot at Luigi’s. She was not just an ordinary student to her teachers for she was loved and praised for her kind heart and hard work.

She enjoyed analysis and there was ample evidence of critical thinking in her work as testified by her teachers and colleagues. For that, students from every year are pushed to excel and continue her legacy. As a tribute to Samar, and to honor her memory, Samar Al Ansari’s Prize in Economics is awarded by her family every year to the student who best demonstrates these qualities.

The Samar Al Ansari Prize in Economics this year goes to Mohamed Nabil Ali.

I have the pleasure to invite Dr. Randah Hamadeh, Samar’s mother and Chair of the Educational Committee, to present the award.

جائزتي


ها أنت اليوم في مدرستي
تجلسين حيث جلست مع أترابي
في يوم جمعية الشرف
.حين إنضممت اليها كأخوتي أحبابي

كنت فخورة جدا بي،
السعادة تتطاير من عينيك
واليوم تجلسي على نفس المقعد
.لتكرمي وتعطي جائزتي بيديك

أمي، بلغي سلامي
لكل أستاذ من أساتذتي
واشكري من يذكرني
.حتى بعد مماتي

وسلامي لمن ينظر اليك
ويترحم علي بصمت
ويشعر وكأنه قابلني
.حتى مع مرور الوقت
  
هنئي الفائز بجائزتي
فأنا أبارك له من السموات
أهديه دعاء أن يرافقه النجاح
.والتميز في جميع الأوقات

وقبل أن تغادري، زوري
كل ركن قضيت به أجمل أوقاتي
ثم قفي لبرهة أمام شجرتي
.وادعي لي، أمي يا فرحة حياتي


رنده ربحي حماده
