500 members of Food Brings Hope’s after school program celebrated their accomplishments May 1 at the Daytona International Speedway.

What better way is there to end the school year than a party at the Daytona International Speedway?

500 local students, including a few from Osceola Elementary, from Food Brings Hope’s Kid Zone and Teen Zone after school programs celebrated May 1 at the Speedway.

Students involved in the program that programs provides meals, tutoring and enrichment activities for disadvantaged Volusia County School students, were treated to speedway tours, dinner and entertainment from DJ Tremble of 103.3 The Vibe.

"This is always our favorite event of the year," Forough B. Hosseini, Founder and Chair of FBH, said. "It's a time where we gather to celebrate our amazing students who have dedicated extra time and focus on their studies with the objective of improving their performance. And at FBH, we believe this is an important step in achieving success in their lives."

James Banks and Samantha Jennings from Osceola Elementary won Citizenship Awards.
