Elementary Shining Stars Honored By WSRE, Receive Congressional Recognition
April 27, 2009
One student from each local elementary school was named as a “Shining Star’ during a ceremony Sunday afternoon as WSRE in Pensacola, and each received Congressional recognition.
WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast and the Greater Escambia Community Foundation honored the fourth and fifth grade students for their outstanding citizenship and leadership qualities.
Honored from North Escambia elementary schools were:
- Bethany Reynolds, Bratt Elementary
- Jessica Stacey, Byrneville Elementary
- Audriene Odom, Carver/Century K-8 School
- Courtney Weekly, Molino Park Elementary
- Michael Sherrill, Jim Allen Elementary School
Each student received a certificate honoring them as “one of the most exemplary students in our community” presented by Pensacola Mayor Mike Wiggins and Escambia County School Superintendent Malcolm Thomas.
Each Shining Star was also presented with a brand new bicycle and helmet, and a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congressman Jeff Miller.
The Shining Stars will be featured in a 30 second public service announcement that will air on WSRE Channel 23. A total of 45 students, one from each elementary school in the county, received the accolades.
