This summer, Kentreal LaVergne from Kinder, will join Outstanding MIiddle School students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, Forensic Science in Dallas, Texas.
Forensic Science is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom.
LaVergne was nominated to attend the forum by his second grade teacher, Ms. Jessica, at Kinder Elementary.
He is passionate about sports and plays baseball and bowls with YABA. LaVergne was nominated for the fifth grade study of the year. He also received math honors.
LaVergne received his first year Awana completion award. This will be LaVergne’s second year attending Envision Honor STEM. LaVergne life goal is to study forensic science and become a CSI agent.
“As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Kentreal LaVergne to meet, work and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At Forensic Science, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel in high school, college and the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges and with new people which given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.”
For over 35 years, Envision by WorldStrides has empowered extraordinary students to become their best selves through programs that enable them to discover their passion, explore a career, and positively impact their world.
In 2018, Envision became part of the WorldStrides family. The largest provider of educational travel and experiences in the United States, WorldStrides works with over 50,000 educators each year to help more than 550,000 students see the world-and themselves-in new ways.
