Fugees Academy Soccer Team Trophy
notes: label: Description
content: This trophy was presented to the Fugees Academy soccer team when they won the Tornado Cup, a state-wide soccer tournament for boys under 14. The Fugees Academy opened in Clarkston, Georgia, to teach immigrant children as part of a refugee resettlement that brought thousands of refugees to the area. Facing an anti-immigrant backlash, the team overcame these difficulties by becoming a powerhouse soccer team in the state of Georgia. Using soccer, the school helps the students form social connections, practice their English, and develop leadership skills.
