On May 31, 2012 David and Rita Yonan owners of All Star Trophies in Turlock generously donated a 12 foot aluminum boat to the Ceres High School Manufacturing Academy. The Academy teachers and students are so grateful for the donation – students now have an opportunity to learn how green and clean technologies can result in a solar powered boat project. The Academy plans to use the boat in the annual
Solar Regatta competition.
Thank You All Star Trophies!!!

The Ceres Community Collaborative is a group of representative agencies and community members that are committed to meeting the needs of families in Ceres and the surrounding community. Members are dedicated to coordinating resources that empower and support individuals and families to learn and grow. Formal meetings occur quarterly.

The Ceres Community Collaborative was formed in 1994 as a planning group for a Healthy Start project. The Collaborative has grown in size and importance over the past 14 years. Currently, over 30 partner organizations, including faith-based organizations, local governmental agencies, independent youth-oriented organizations, Institutions of Higher Education, and grant-funded agencies are involved.
The Ceres Community Collaborative has successfully identified priorities, developed plans, mobilized public and private resources and integrated services that support children and families and enhance community well being.
