At the April 28 meeting of the Morenci Area Schools Board of Education, Ronald and Kenneth Bernath were formally recognized for their dedication to the district’s athletic programs.
Though neither currently has children enrolled in the district, both brothers have become fixtures at home and away games, often traveling great distances to cheer on student-athletes.
The school board presented a proclamation that commended them for setting “an inspiring example of what it means to be a true champion of youth, dedication, and community spirit.” It further noted that their visible and consistent support reminds us that a school district’s success is measured not only by academics and athletics but also by the strength and unity of its supporters.
The board officially recognized Ronald and Kenneth Bernath as symbols of Bulldog pride and expressed deep gratitude for their enduring enthusiasm and love for the Morenci community.
