Sonora, CA – The 2023 “Every Student Succeeds Breakfast” was held last month at the Sonora Elks Lodge and some of those making the grade were also awarded scholarships.

The Tuolumne Charter of the Association of California School Administrators (TCACSA) hosted the annual breakfast where 18 students, ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade, were recognized for their achievements. Family members and educators who supported each student were also invited to attend.

Each school district in Tuolumne County nominated one student for recognition for academic achievement, with some overcoming obstacles or challenges. During the breakfast, a brief description of each student’s achievements and successes was noted.  12th-grade students also received a $1,000 scholarship to continue their future education from the Sonora Area Foundation and community member, Dan Imfeld.
