Westwood Star Student Logs 220 Hours Helping Rescue Pets

LOS ANGELES, CA —Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Michele Robinson who nominated Ariela, 10th grader of Westwood-Century City

She loves animals. She has adopted 4 pets *(2 cats and 2 dogs)and we are currently fostering another dog. Since age 12, she organizes pet adoption events to help get pets adopted.
