The Mayor's Honor Program is returning for its third year to once again shine a spotlight on the academic achievement and exceptional character of students across Daytona Beach's elementary and middle schools. The popular program is embraced by principals, teachers, parents, and most importantly, the students it recognizes.
The celebration begins with a red-carpet welcome, followed by a limousine ride to a special lunch with Mayor Derrick L. Henry. Students are joined by city leaders, including Educational Enrichment Coordinator Meryl Hether. Each honoree receives a goody bag and a certificate to commemorate their achievement.
Thanks to the generosity of community partners like Samantha Burdick, Operating Partner, at PF Chang's in One Daytona, who agreed to provide lunches for students at Turie T. Small Elementary and Campbell Middle School.
