Citrus Grove proudly celebrated two Sydney Young Golden Heart Award winners last week! Jayce Fulks and Ronan Triggs were honored for supporting and encouraging their siblings with disabilities. According to a 2022 WPTV interview, this recognition was started 19 years ago by Susan Burrows, a Challenger School principal. She wanted to celebrate the brothers and sisters of children with disabilities, who often sacrifice their own time and attention as they love and support their siblings and families. Parents and siblings, administrators, and classroom teachers are shown here beaming with pride for these two fine, young men. The Diamondback community applauds you, Jayce and Ronan!
