Here's Why Caroline Was Shouted Out As A Darien Star Student

We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Darien.

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.

DARIEN, CT — 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 Joan, who nominated Caroline, an 11th grader in Darien.

How do you know the star local student?

Daughter

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

My daughter Caroline is a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician volunteering many hours of prehospital care in her community. She also volunteers in Person to Person Outreach in our community and the surrounding communities. She also volunteers for a newly formed nonprofit in our community called Wave Strong which promotes mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

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

She is a compassionate, caring, driven person who strives to help people at all levels and chooses to do so by having a strong, moral compass.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Caroline!
