Last year @SilGanzo "couldn’t imagine" how @ourBRIDGEkids could stay relevant & useful to the refugee & immigrant families they support.

Indeed, the level of support they've provided is BEYOND imagination. We salute them today in #TheYearbookProject >> https://t.co/Zy869qmWPF

Student leaders are still…students. @CharMeckSchools Board of Ed student reps @BreanaFowler19 & @gabrielschuhl have represented the voices of peers while navigating their own changes. Check out how they've grown in the process in #TheYearbookProject >>
