STUDIO CITY, CA โ€” 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 weโ€™re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Grace Schmidt who nominated Magdalena, an 11th grader, of Studio City.

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

She has overcome obstacles from COVID to excel in school, collect and donate to animal rescues, participates in local activities to clean up our city, help students over their anxiety while touring and contributing to Shaneโ€™s experience for kids with disabilities. Through this she has overcome her own anxiety and depression.
