On June 3, 2021, Commander Burroughs visited three local schools to present three exceptional students with awards for being “Great Kids” for the month of May 2021.
“We are ending the school year with presenting three remarkable kids in Flagler County with the Sheriff’s Great Kid Awards,” Sheriff Staly said. “The kids receiving the awards for May are all doing wonderful things throughout our schools and community. They’ve shown many leadership qualities, as well as kindness and respect to their teachers and peers. We want them to know we appreciate their efforts and hope they’ll continue to represent our county in great ways. We are here to help and support their goals in every way possible.”
Brayden Murray is a 4th grade student at Imagine School Town Center (ISTC) is a participant in the PAL
Run Flagler Race Series. On our first race of the spring series Brayden showed his amazing integrity by ensuring none of our runners had to run alone. Brayden completed his own race and ran alongside each of our race finishers for the next few races to provide support and encouragement to get them to finish strong. He exemplifies the true personality traits of a “great kid” and great friend. We are lucky to have him as part of our school family!
