SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama was joined by Mayor Ron Nirenberg and French Consul General Valerie Baraban to celebrate the International School of San Antonio's LabelFrancÉducation accreditation.
According to its website, the "LabelFrancÉducation" seal is granted to schools promoting French language and culture as part of their specific curriculum.
"LabelFrancÉducation" is granted by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs based on the advice of an inter-ministerial advisory committee.
So it made sense that the French-born NBA player was in attendance to see the school's milestone moment.
Wembanyama shook hands with the Mayor and both Nirenberg and Baraban received his jersey. The Spurs rookie also met with the students.
“It is with great pleasure and pride that we award the LabelFrancÉducation seal to the International School of San Antonio,” said Aliénor Maxence, Program Officer for the French Cultural Services in Houston said in a release. “Congratulations on this momentous achievement.”
