Yesterday, we co-hosted a West TN bus tour in Memphis with our national partner, the National Charter Collaborative! Sen. Raumesh Akbari, Sen. London Lamar, Rep. G.A. Hardaway, Sr., Rep. Jesse Chism, school board members Sable Otey, Tamarques Porter, and Michelle McKissack, along with Tim Abram from the Charter School Growth Fund, a representative from Mayor Paul Young’s office, and so many business and community leaders, joined us to tour Compass Community Schools Hickory Hill and MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES PREPARATORY CHARTER SCHOOL INC, where we celebrated both schools' successes. At Compass, we learned about their innovative partnership with the Hyde Family Foundation, addressing chronic absenteeism. At Grizzlies Prep, we celebrated the approval of their all-girls STEAM charter—an incredible milestone for the school and for girls in Memphis. Celebrated filmmaker Hollis Meminger also joined to share his impactful work on supporting youth affected by gun violence with a film he's working on with Grizzlies Prep. Thanks to all who joined and made this such a meaningful day! #TNCharters #ServingStudents
