The Citizens of the Month awards are sponsored by Bosshardt Realty and the Children’s Trust of Alachua County. The Citizens of the Month awards recognizes one student from each elementary school in Alachua County. At the end of the school year, each school picks a Citizen of the Year.
This award by their teachers and peers, is based upon their scholastic standing, attitude, conduct, their contribution to the community (for example, 4H, Scouts, church) and their extracurricular activities.
