MONTVILLE, CT β€” 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 Ann Gaulin who nominated her grandson, Cole, a Montville 4th grader.

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

He raised $1400 for the American Heart Association Kids Challenge by standing in front Stop and Shop and Nino's Pizza giving away his children's reading books for a donation to the charity. These were his books as a child.

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

He did a kind thing for children he didn't know. He wanted to raise money for children with "sick" hearts.

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