Qiaunci Jones- You are welcome here.
The International Community School has been a fixture in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur for 15 years. It's a public charter school where refugee children learn side by side neighborhood kids.
On Monday, when students arrived at school, they were greeted by signs. Dozens and dozens of them planted along the sidewalks. "You are welcome here," said one. "You are loved," said another.
I believe this is just a step into welcoming those who are mistreated and forgotten. It's a beautiful sign for refugees children to know they have a place, especially after what they have been through. I can connect this to when they started creating schools to educate all.
