Sarah V & Yullen N: Sarah and Yullen received "Outstanding Student Lodi Pride Awards." These outstanding students were nominated by Vince Breunig, Lodi High School Principal. Vince stated, "Sarah and Yullen have been a tremendous help this year with new students who spoke very limited English. They volunteered to translate, sought out and ate lunch with our new students, and found different ways to make these students feel welcome and supported." Congratulations!!!

Sammi B, Shelbi B & Nate J: These students received "Outstanding Student Lodi Pride Awards." They were nominated by Megan Kinonen, Lodi High School Counselor. Megan stated, “Sammi and Shelbi have been very involved with the high school leadership group over the last four years and have all been tremendous leaders in the group. They have helped organize events and have been leaders at the summer retreats, Flip it Forward, Sober Saturdays/Post-Game Parties, and Food Drives and they have been great role models to younger students in the group and in the school.”
“Nate did a lot of work for both Post Game Parties this year. He made announcements about the event, took the initiative to create a sign up sheet to have teams sign up ahead of time, created the brackets, found chaperones, and helped to make sure the tournaments ran smoothly.” Congratulations to all Lodi students!!!
