We also had an engaging

Student4Life had the opportunity to take two Brainerd High School student athletes to their first NPHC experience. In S4L we believe it takes a village. Giving the youth the ability to see outside their norm by exposing and educating them while also having fun is crucial! School is not always "fun" and it takes a lot of hard work and grit, but there are aspects in the academic journey that can create memories and bonds for a lifetime. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. is an glo
