Here's Why Lucia Was Shouted Out As A New Canaan Star Student

NEW CANAAN, 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 Ellen, who nominated her daughter, Lucia, of New Canaan.

How do you know the star local student?

I’m her mother.

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

Lucia has been a volunteer EMT since she was 16 years old. One of youngest to qualify in the state. She volunteers at New Canaan EMS 60 hours per month riding Tuesday overnights then attending high school next day. She is a high honors student with a 4.0 GPA and a member of several charitable groups.

She is a co founder of the charity Feeding 500 which supports a shelter in Norwalk and has helped to raise over $75K by building a huge student led team of volunteers. She is a kind and amazing kid who is going to the university of Virginia in the fall and she deserves to be recognized for her hard work and caring for our community.

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

She is incredibly kind and compassionate

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