As we pull out the grills, meet up with family and friends, relax by the pool in the name of independence, we need to remember the 200 girls at St. Elizabeth Girls’ Academy.  America celebrates 238 years of independence. Our girls are going through what our forefathers went through, a fight for their freedom, a fight for the right to be self-reliant.

 

A toast to our girls: We honor your fight. We support your efforts to better your situation. Cheers to your education, stay resilient and continue to follow your path to INDEPENDENCE.

Happy 4th!

 

Peace, love and freedom,
