We were so glad to read this piece in The Reformer by Stephen Rice who shares the ways in which refugee families and their children have been welcomed in area schools. He writes: "Once the students started going to school, the sense of a warm embrace was extended by the entire school population, from the classroom teachers who welcomed and fully included each child in instruction as well as their classroom communities, to the students who reached out and befriended them and created room signs in Dari or Pashto languages, to the administrators who extend- ed offers of support and created spaces for the children to privately observe their noontime prayers, to the coordinators of after school programs who eagerly included the children in their activities."
