Three students have been recognized by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office as a “Great Kid” for September 2022.

Sheriff Rick Staly met with the students Nov. 14 and presented their awards, which were delayed due to Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, according to an FCSO news release.

The awards are presented monthly to one elementary, middle, and high school student.
