To all our donors and those who attend our Gala each year- these are the kind of fun experiences we are creating for our students! This is why we do what we do! This year we gave out almost 20,000 in grants and we can’t wait to see all the creativity we can help inspire ❤️

Last week was one of our favorite traditions, surprising Brazos ISD teachers with Brazos Education Foundation grants! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we awarded $15,500 in teacher grants to support innovative ideas and classroom needs across the district.

From the smiles to the happy tears, the excitement from both teachers and students reminded us exactly why this work matters. These grants will directly impact learning experiences and create opportunities our students might not otherwise have.

We were honored to be joined by School Board President Myles Marek. Thank you for always supporting the Foundation and believing in our mission to invest in Brazos ISD teachers and students.

The good news does not stop here. Because of your generosity at the Gala, we are already looking forward to awarding even more grants during the 2026–2027 school year.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in classrooms across Brazos ISD. ❤️🖤 Go Cougars!

Last night’s Second Annual Brazos Education Foundation Gala was nothing short of amazing! ✨

Because of the incredible generosity of our community, preliminary totals show that we raised nearly $50,000 to support the teachers and students of Brazos ISD. This impact is only possible because of the people who believe in investing in our schools and our kids.

Thank you to everyone who attended and made the evening so special. A huge thank you to those who donated, sponsored, and purchased auction items. Your support directly fuels opportunities for classrooms and students across the district.

Most importantly, congratulations to the 2026 BEF Scholarship recipients! We are proud to celebrate these deserving students and grateful to those who helped present the awards and recognize their achievements.

Our community showed up in a big way, and because of you, great things will continue to happen for Brazos ISD. ❤️
