Farewell Madam Soumaya Amr

“إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ”

توفيت إلى رحمة الله تعالى: مدام/ سمية عمرو
زوجة الأستاذ كولن روجرز
والدة كل من الأستاذ كريم روجرز زوج الأستاذة دينا شعبان و الأستاذة سارة روجرز حرم الأستاذ احمد خليل واخت السيد حسان عمرو، وعمة كل من أولڤيا، إيمان، وإنجي و عمر و احمد و جيلان عمرو.
للفقيدة الرحمة ولعائلتها الصبر والسلوان.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mrs. Soumaya Amr — the heart and soul behind El Alsson School. From Haraneya to NewGiza, she was the pillar upon which this great institution was built. Today, the El Alsson community mourns the loss of an icon, a guiding force, and its very essence.

Madam Soumaya was more than a School Director — she was a visionary, a role model, and a pioneer in the field of education. Her leadership paved the way for generations of educators and schools across Egypt. Her legacy is not only in the buildings or the systems she established, but in the lives she touched and the values she instilled.

She was admired and loved deeply — for her unwavering compassion, her empathy, her integrity, and her genuine care for every student, parent, and staff member who ever walked through El Alsson’s doors.

At this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences and unwavering support to everyone who knew her, worked alongside her, learned from her, and loved her. To her family — you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find strength and comfort in the love and legacy she leaves behind.

We honour her memory with profound respect and lasting gratitude.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her light continue to guide us.

ببالغ الحزن والأسى ننعى السيدة سمية عمرو — القلب النابض والركيزة الأساسية وراء مدرسة الألسن، من الحرانية إلى نيو جيزة. لقد كانت الدعامة التي بُنيت عليها هذه المؤسسة العريقة، واليوم تفقد عائلة الألسن رمزاً، ومرشدةً، وجوهر روحها.

لم تكن مدام سمية مجرد مديرة مدرسة، بل كانت رائدة ومثلًا أعلى ونموذجًا يحتذى به في مجال التعليم. لقد مهدت الطريق لأجيال من المعلمين والمدارس في مصر، وتركت بصمتها في كل جانب من جوانب التعليم الحديث. إرثها لا يقتصر على المباني أو الأنظمة، بل يعيش في القيم التي غرستها والقلوب التي أثّرت فيها.

كانت محبوبة ومحترمة من الجميع — لما أظهرته من رحمة وتعاطف ونزاهة واهتمام صادق بكل طالب وولي أمر وموظف مرّ عبر أبواب الألسن.

وفي هذا الوقت العصيب، نرسل أحر تعازينا وأصدق مشاعر الدعم لكل من عرفها أو عمل معها أو تعلّم منها أو أحبّها. ونتوجه بخالص المواساة والدعاء إلى عائلتها الكريمة — قلوبنا معكم، ونسأل الله أن يلهمكم الصبر والسلوان، وأن يحيطكم بحبها الذي لا يزول.

نكرّم ذكراها بكل احترام وامتنان.
رحمها الله رحمة واسعة، وجعل نورها طريقاً نستضيء به دائمًا.
