Three Merced City School District students have accomplished a fantastic feat when it comes to attendance.  They have not missed a day of school in several years!

Lorena Ortiz-Vasquez has attended class every day from preschool through 8^th grade.  She is graduating from Tenaya Middle School Wednesday evening (June 1^st) and was previously a student at Galen Clark Preschool, Stowell Elementary, Reyes Elementary, and Gracey Elementary.  Lorena is looking forward to attending El Capitan High School in the fall.

Madison VanZile has attended Peterson Elementary every day from kindergarten through 6^th grade, for a total of 1260 days.  Her grandmother is a teacher at Peterson and has helped instill the importance of education and being present in class from a young age.  Madison will be heading to Cruickshank Middle School in the fall.

Carlos Gil has had perfect attendance from 1^st through 6^th grade at Fremont Elementary.  He says he’s proud of that accomplishment, and he’ll now take that same dedication to Tenaya Middle School in the fall.
