🌊🏄‍♀️ NEW THIS YEAR! 🏄‍♂️🌊

We are SO excited to introduce a fun new feature for our Positive Referrals! 🎉

This year, when a student earns a positive referral for demonstrating our PBIS expectations — Safety, Ownership, Accountability, and Respect — they’ll get to sign their name on our very own SURFBOARD! 🤙🌴

Imagine looking at that board all year and seeing the names of students who are making great choices, showing leadership, and being positive role models!

We are incredibly grateful to Jay Smith from Clever Surf Boards for generously donating this awesome surfboard to us! Your support is helping us celebrate our students in a BIG way!

So, students… show us your S.O.A.R. and get ready to leave your mark! 🌊

A mentor provides more than guidance. They provide encouragement, support, and a trusted connection that can make a lasting difference in a young person's life.

Volusia County Schools invites community members to attend mentor training and learn how you can help empower the next generation.
