San Juan Capistrano Star Student Beautifies Her Community

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, 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 Monica who nominated Malia, an 8th grade student of San Juan Capistrano.

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

Malia should be recognized for the positive change she makes in her neighborhood daily. She picks up trash along the main street and the parks. She is making a positive impact by beautifying her neighborhood without having to be told to. She is making an impact daily with a smile because she wants her neighbors and community to feel proud of where they live.
