Livermore Star Student 'Doesn't Give Up'
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Livermore.

LIVERMORE, 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 Cari Dunmeyer, who nominated her son Jacob, an 8th grader in Livermore.
