Chalk up another CP field trip... this time for girls only. Why did we choose a movie day instead of a day in the classroom? Today, we traveled around the globe to learn the stories of nine young girls who face a litany of injustices - like child slavery, abuse, and arranged marriages - mostly before age 11. Even under the threat of enormous obstacles, these brave girls tell their story of hope and determination, demanding an education so they may turn around their own lives and force greater change in the world at large. Stories are told through artistic imagery and narrated by some of Hollywood's most compassionate actors and actresses. Girl Rising made an impact on our own young CP students and challenged them to rise and become change-makers.
Onward and Upward, Carol
