Happy Monday Family!
I just wanted to pass on an article about Muslim families and my school (Cornerstone). It's very controversial right now. Cornerstone used to be a private Christian school which is why a lot of Muslim families think it is still Christian, even though now we are a public charter school and not teaching the bible. MCS is sort of taking advantage of that assumption and courting Muslim families to Douglas, even though a lot of the refugees would rather have their kids go to school in their own neighborhood. We also have an amazing ESL teacher and program, and it would be so sad to have the neighborhood kids not benefit from that. Anyway, read the article if you like it's pretty interesting.
