It was their last official day as elementary school students, and the students of Lathrop Elementary School went out in style.
More than 100 promoting eighth grade students were on hand Wednesday morning for the drive-thru ceremony to receive their promotion certificates with their families and say goodbye to the place that for many of them has been their home for the last nine years – leading to some bittersweet moments for students before they head off to Lathrop High School in the fall.
Receiving special awards as voted on by the staff at Lathrop Elementary were: Jasmine Ponce and Angel Hernandez (Athlete of the Year Award), Tiba Sameer and Kyle Bartolome (Most Athletic), Elizabeth Rodriguez and Carlos Angulo (Top Academic Student), Jaelena Balanzar and Luis Valdez (Top Fine Arts), Neftali Soto Aguilar (Character Award), Kai Aquino and Ramyah Olivarez (Most Improved), Marintia Mejia-Moreno and Alfredo Olmedo-Gomez (Helping Hand Award), Paola Guerra Martinez and Lauro Lupian (Math Master Award), Trinity Alvarado and Joel Zerpa Araujo (Remarkable Reader Award), Diana Lopez and David Corona (Super Scientist Award), and Evalynn Munoz and Ociel Mora (Extraordinary Effort Award).
