Local Students Rewarded For Academic Success
Tuolumne, CA — In previous years the Tuolumne Charter of the Association of California School Administrators hosted an annual breakfast to honor local students who had inspirational stories of overcoming obstacles to reach academic goals. This year instead of a breakfast event, each school spotlighted a student in their own district and rewarded all students a certificate, seniors received a 1,000 dollar scholarship, and others a gift card to a local business.
This is all made possible thanks to a partnership with Sonora Area Foundation and the generous donation of community member Dan Imfeld.
