Alonso Guerrero was one of about 30 after school workers from four counties honored this morning at a California Expanded Learning Department “breakfast of champions” in Gilroy.

The state’s Region 5 awarded him an Excellence Award for his two years as our After School Director and Athletics Director.

Kudos also go to all our after school program staff – also, Renee, Alex, Luis, Helen, Joshua, Jose and Ivette.

Sunrise has one of the best attended after school programs in the state.

Specifically, Alonso, aka Mr. Bo, was honored for his work coordinating between teachers and after school instructors, organizing eight different teams throughout the year, working with parents and 8th graders on high school acceptance and coordinating other fun activities in the after school program. Mr. Bo started at Sunrise five years ago as a paraprofessional in the math classes.

Thank you, Alonso, and all the after school staff, for providing our youth with a nurturing second-home environment!
