Three exceptional students who attend Flagler County public schools are recognized by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office as a “Great Kid” for August 2022.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly met with each of those students on Monday, Oct. 10,  and presented them their awards, which were delayed due to Hurricane Ian.

“Presenting these awards is one of my favorite things to do,” Staly said. “We have great kids throughout Flagler County and they deserve to have the spotlight on them for the wonderful and positive things they’ve done and will continue to do.”

Here are August's award recipients:
