Beacons Of Light Awards Banquet to Honor Community Contributions in Bryan-College Station

This special event is set to take place on March 7th at the enchanting Hildebrand Equine Complex starting bright and early at 11 a.m.. The banquet promises to showcase the remarkable contributions of students, families, and community leaders who are truly making a difference in the BCS area.
Celebrating Community Heroes
The REACH Project is behind this inspiring affair, as they host their annual fundraiser and awards banquet. This organization is on a mission to build bridges between college students and families in college towns. With partnerships with over 300 student organizations at Texas A&M University, the REACH Project is dedicated to uplifting and honoring community members for their tenacious involvement in the non-profit landscape.
Attending the banquet is not just about enjoying a delightful meal; it’s also about coming together as a community to recognize those who give their all.

Interesting Educational Opportunities
The Veterinary Education Day is hugely collaborative, organized by enthusiastic veterinary students in partnership with the REACH Project. Activities at the event ranged from a wildlife and reptile room to a teddy bear hospital station, making sure there was something for everyone. Children even got to interact with small ruminants, which surely added to the excitement of the day!
Importance of Representation
The involvement of these students emphasizes how important it is for children to see individuals who look like them in the veterinary profession. The event helps youngsters envision themselves in a future career as a veterinarian, proving that dreams are valid, regardless of background.
This memorable event serves as an important reminder for veterinary students of their own journeys towards becoming professionals. Taking about 6 to 10 months to plan, the Veterinary Education Day aims not only to educate but also inspire the next wave of veterinarians critical for addressing workforce shortages in the veterinary field.
Enhancing Community Communication
The REACH Project also continues to make strides in the community by initiating ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. These classes are designed for families eager to improve their English skills and are available at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Set to be held every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m., the classes cover practical scenarios that people often face, such as shopping, navigating parent-teacher conferences, and preparing for job interviews.
There has been a notable interest from families looking to practice their English, which only goes to show how much the community values opportunities for connection and communication. The overarching goal of these ESL classes is to break down language barriers and boost communication skills, strengthening the fabric of the Bryan-College Station area.
So, whether you’re gearing up for the Beacons Of Light Awards Banquet or learning new English skills, Bryan-College Station is absolutely buzzing with community activities that celebrate connection and growth. Come join in on the fun and see how you can contribute!
