BEA pupil honoured for exceptional courage

A BEA pupil has been recognised for showing ‘exceptional courage’ at the Rotary Children of Courage Awards. Alexis, 13, was one of three young people from the Boston area honoured at a ceremony held at the Boston & County Club on Monday 16 March, organised by the Rotary Club of Boston St Botolph.

Alexis was nominated by her school in recognition of her strength and resilience in overcoming serious health challenges. She received her award alongside her teacher, Rhiannon Harris, and guests including the Mayor of Boston and Rotary representatives.

Rhiannon said: “Behind Lexi’s humour and confidence is a story of incredible courage and resilience. Lexi shows us every day what courage really looks like.” Staff at BEA say she is a joyful, inspiring presence and a much‑deserved recipient of the award.
