Three exceptional students who attend public and private schools in Flagler County have received Sheriff Rick Staly’s “Great Kid Award.” FCSO Youth Services Section Commander Jennifer Nawrocki presented each student with their award.
The “Great Kid” Award is presented every month during the school year to students who respect their peers, help others, work hard in academics, and represent themselves and their school well. The recipients are nominated by FCSO’s School Resource Deputies and school employees. Commander Nawrocki kicked off the 2023-2024 school year by presenting all three awards to these deserving students on behalf of Sheriff Staly.
“I’m proud of these amazing students,” said Sheriff Staly. “Congratulations to each of them for representing their schools and Flagler County so well. At FCSO, we are always looking for ways to recognize outstanding kids and highlight their good work and behavior.”
