The Moraga Lions Club honored six outstanding middle school students from Lamorinda with its Annual Achievement Award. The award recognizes students who exemplify qualities such as exceptional effort, perseverance, attentiveness, teamwork, leadership, advocacy, positive attitude, and significant personal growth. At each participating school, teachers and counselors select two students whose character and accomplishments reflect these values.

    This year’s recipients were: Stanley Middle School eighth-graders Ella Roth and Hudson Bartelt; Orinda Intermediate School eighth-grader Shira Weiss and seventh-grader Natalie Olle; St. Perpetua School eighth-graders Charlotte Harter and Quentin Jones.

    The Moraga Lions Club congratulates these remarkable students for their achievements and the positive example they set for their school communities. Their dedication, resilience, character, and positive contributions make them exemplary representatives of their schools and bright examples for their peers.
