Star Student Donates To Cancer Research
This 5th grade student made "slime" and donated $1 for cancer research to St. Jude for every jar that she sold.
DIAMOND BAR-WALNUT, 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 Jennifer Baldini who nominated Sophia, a 5th grade student of Diamond Bar-Walnut.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Sophia tried very hard to raise money for her Nana’s cancer research. Sadly her Nana passed away shortly after Christmas. Sophia made slime and donated $1 to St. Jude for every jar. Sophia has a heart of gold and she always likes to help others.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Sophia is always thinking of others. She has the biggest heart and spent a lot of her time trying to raise money for St. Jude’s cancer research in honor of her Grandma. She donates her toys and clothes to those in need as well.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Sophia 5th grade!
