We will be hearing from Etienne Lefrais, our current Rotary Youth Exchange Student.

 

Etienne is 17 years old and from Bordeaux, France. He loves basketball, and has really gotten in to Friday Night Lights & high school football. His mother & father are both in business and he has a younger sister. 

 

The Bryan ISD Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization that raises financial resources to elevate student achievement and support educators across the district.

 

The Foundation consists of 20 community members who are passionate about expanding the learning opportunities for BISD students by providing teacher grant awards and scholarship opportunities for outgoing seniors. Through the generous giving of local families and businesses, the Education Foundation was able to award over $350,000 in 2023 to teacher and student initiatives.

 

In addition to teacher grants and scholarships, the Foundation honors former alumni from Bryan ISD whose achievements, strength of character, and citizenship serve as a model to inspire and challenge today’s students. The "Hall of Honor" banquet serves as a fundraiser to further grow the mission of the Education Foundation. The next Hall of Honor is planned for Spring 2025.
