Remember how fortunate and privileged our students are to have a laptop and a dedicated teacher on every Teams call to guide them through their academic programs. With the extension of COVID-19 restrictions, I encourage our girls to re-set for a two-week lockdown period, lean-in to learning and challenge themselves to be the best they can be. 65 million girls are not in school today. We have an obligation to ensure our next generation of leaders have a voice for all girls who are not in school, today, tomorrow and well into the future.
