Councilman Jay McChord presented a check for $1000.00 to Dr. Debra Anderson, PTSA President at Bryan Station High School for Station’s participation at the recent Second Sunday (2S) event in downtown Lexington. All PTSAs in Fayette County were challenged by the 2S organizers to bring their students downtown and demonstrate their commitment to being active in Kentucky. BSHS had the largest percentage of students in attendance. The PTSA had extended the challenge to the student activity and sport groups at Bryan Station, offering a cash award for the organization with the most students present.

In the above photo are Stu Silberman, Superintendent of FCPS, Dr. Anderson, Shae Rabold, Jessica Berry, President of the 16^th District PTA, and Councilman McChord. Following the presentation of the award to Dr. Anderson, she went to BSHS where the BSHS Step Team was practicing.

The photo above was taken when Dr. Anderson shared the information with Ms. Overstreet, Advisor of the Step Team, that they had the largest student group at 2S and they would receive $300.00 from the PTSA for their effort. The Step Team gave an awesome performance at the 2S event.
