Two of those\n   rules do visible damage inside these articles:\n     * the child figure is given a fixed `width: calc(50% - gap)`, so in a grid\n       it refuses to fill its cell and leaves a hole beside it;\n     * the caption is `position:absolute` at the bottom of the image with a dark\n       gradient and white text, printing over the photograph instead of sitting\n       under it.\n   The two rules below use the same `:not(#\u2026)` trick to match that specificity\n   and put both back.

Su dedicaci\u00f3n a la educaci\u00f3n, la recaudaci\u00f3n de fondos y la mentor\u00eda ha influido positivamente en innumerables estudiantes y fortalecido nuestros programas.

Varios becarios de BASIC han regresado para impartir clases en la Academia de Aprendizaje de verano, y las Becas de Formaci\u00f3n Docente de la Familia McFarland han apoyado durante mucho tiempo a los estudiantes que completan su formaci\u00f3n. La Beca Barbara Coates ofrece una segunda opci\u00f3n con el mismo prop\u00f3sito: un premio que se otorga, adem\u00e1s del apoyo regular de BASIC, a un estudiante que ha elegido la docencia como profesi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las becas con nombre propio son financiadas por donantes que desean honrar la memoria de un ser querido, apoyar la educaci\u00f3n en un campo espec\u00edfico o premiar la excelencia acad\u00e9mica. Cada d\u00f3lar donado a este fondo se destina a un estudiante de Borrego que se est\u00e1 formando para ser maestro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-st-letter\">\n\t<p class=\"bb-st-letter__label\">El homenajeado<\/p>\n\t<p>Barbara fue presidenta de BASIC y contin\u00faa en la junta directiva como vicepresidenta.
