“Why should Muslim girls, who want to follow their constitutionally protected right, have an extra barrier to fully participate in sports in Tennessee?" an advocate said. "This rule was used to humiliate a 14-year-old student in front of her peers." tennessean.com/story/sports/…

Distance learning is a steep learning curve, and building relationships remotely is an even bigger challenge. We had the opportunity to share w/ @CharterGrowth what we’ve done in preparation for virtual learning and are inspired by the work of other schools across the country!
