Local leaders commend Jakar and Vance for academic achievements at Grambling and Jackson State

During the recent Bastrop City Council meeting, a significant moment arose as council members took time to commend two local graduates for their achievements and community involvement. Jakar and Vance, both graduates from Grambling State University, along with Lawrence Wilson from Jackson State University, were recognized for completing the MasterPath program, which aims to empower young leaders in the community.

The council emphasized the importance of supporting young individuals who strive to further their education and contribute positively to society. This recognition not only highlights the accomplishments of these young men but also serves as an encouragement for others in the community to pursue educational opportunities and engage in community service.

In addition to this commendation, discussions included various topics related to community safety and the role of local law enforcement. The council members expressed their appreciation for the police chief's efforts in maintaining safety and order within the city.

As the council continues to focus on community engagement and support for local youth, the recognition of Jakar, Vance, and Lawrence stands as a testament to the city’s commitment to fostering a positive environment for its residents. The council looks forward to further initiatives that uplift and empower the youth of Bastrop.
