At this Chicago school, dozens of Ukrainian refugees start fresh

A few weeks ago, Reset checked in with the principal of St. Nicholas Cathedral School, which is doing its part to support the over 100,000 Ukrainian refugees in the United States. This school year they have taken in 75 Ukrainian refugee students, bought supplies for their families, and created an English immersion summer camp for the last weeks before school starts.

Now that the school year has begun, Reset checks in with principal Anna Cirilli on how things are going, and with Anna Savchenko, the reporter who visited the school for WBEZ.
