We hosted our inaugural Hispanic Heritage celebration, celebrated the expansion of the EEYP Leadership Program in four schools, and hosted our 4th annual holiday fundraiser, Frosty Fest. EEYP grew and collaborated with several organizations, like DAYA and Street Grace, to better serve youth in Fort Bend County.

Christmas Cheers: Frosty Fest

Our 4th annual holiday fundraiser, Frosty Fest, was held on Saturday, December 13th. There were many activities for families to take part in. There was a hot cocoa station sponsored by Varghese Summersett, candy station sponsored by Hadi Law Firm, cookie station sponsored by Dibrell & Associates, craft and art stations, and even a hay ride thanks to Stuart Ranch! The celebration opened with 2 EEYP student performers, Serena and Ashton. After that, there were musical and dance performances by students from Harmony School of Excellence Sugar Land. All proceeds from the giving tree and silent auction go towards youth programming for 2026. Thank you to everyone who attended the event!

2025 may be over, however, the Expose Excellence Youth Program is still working on creating a safe space for youth interaction and artistic expression. EEYP will return in 2026 with more educational opportunities.
