Thanks to you, Brother Jeremiah Lewis, a 6th grader, attended the Lone Star Leadership Academy this summer. Brother Malcolm Moore, a 10th grader, traveled to Berlin, Germany, where he learned German and explored the land's history. These experiences are vital for personal growth, leadership skills, and cultural awareness. With your continued support, our brothers participate in transformative summer leadership development camps and cultural immersions each year. #bomlafriends #GlobalEducation #TransformativeExperiences #donorsmakeadifference #grateful

FRIENDS of BOMLA would like to thank the teachers and support staff for another outstanding LXG (transitional camp).

Congratulations to our "2024 BOMLA Supermen." Our 39 graduates are ready to impact the world. Just like Superman draws strength from the sun, these young men drew their strength from the boundless support and love of their community. As the last graduating class from B.F. Darrell (first BOMLA campus), our brothers have received their superpowers of leadership, empathy, and civic duty. During this year's Senior Signing Day, our brothers earned $12.8 million in scholarships. We are proud that our graduates are a testament to the incredible power of an ecosystem that believes in their potential and invests in their future. Thank you for being a part of their metropolis. Check out a few photos from this year's celebration. #bomlafriends #2024graduates #bomlasupermen #2024seniorsigningday #changeagents

Sending our best wishes to sophomore Malcolm Moore as he heads to the 2024 UIL 4A Tennis State Championship this weekend! He's representing Dallas ISD. Malcolm, a BOMLA student, represents L.G. Pinkston in tennis. He recently won 3 out of 4 matches at the UIL 4A Regional Championships in Longview, Texas. Ranked among the top 8 players in the state competing in the 4A classification, Malcolm's qualifications mark a historic milestone as the first male tennis player from his school to advance to the state championship in its history, dating back to 1964. Brother Malcolm is also a stellar student. #bomlafriends #greatplayeronandoffthefield #tennislife #excellence
