Lamorinda 8th-Graders Help Hurricane Victims: Star Local Students

LAMORINDA, 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 Emily who nominated The Saklan School's 8th Grade Class of Lamorinda.

Students at the school I work at.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

In December, the eighth-grade students traveled to Puerto Rico to help build homes destroyed by Hurricane Maria.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

In just a few short work days, the Saklan 8th graders not only helped a family repair their home, but also learned about the power of gratitude, love, and putting others first to make the world a better place.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, The Saklan School's 8th Grade Class!
