BRYAN, Texas — Bryan ISD began school Thursday, but while some students went home afterward, some students got a chance to enjoy popsicles at the Boys and Girls Club of the Brazos Valley's after-school program.
CEO of the organization Rhonda Watson says the sweet treat was a gift part of a community grant from Brookshire Brothers.
"I just hope it brings a moment of joy and happiness to them and that they really enjoy their experience, a positive club experience while they’re here," Watson said.
Watson says some kids had a tough first day, but students like Daeriana Waters and Cyleyah Davis say their first day at Bryan ISD's newest school, Sadberry Intermediate, was great.
The popsicles just topped it off.
"We had a lot of periods though, but like you kind of get sleepy and then, it starts getting fun," Davis said.
The after-school program will last from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday, but starting Aug. 14, the program will run for the rest of the school year from 3 to 7 p.m.
