Here's Why Jaipal Was Shouted Out As A Stamford Star Student

STAMFORD, 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 Elizabeth Wilson who nominated Jaipal of Stamford, Connecticut.

Star local student’s name

Jaipal

What grade is your star local student in?

11

How do you know the star local student?

Attends the same school as my son

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

I became aware of the non-profit Baking Happiness that was started by Jaipal, along with his three sisters with the mission of enriching the lives of senior citizens in the community through cookies and baking. They go to different nursing homes and senior living centers and provide cookie decorating classes and companionship to the seniors. They have involved the entire school in their initiative and have reached over a thousand seniors with what they have accomplished. I felt that this deserved some recognition!

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

Kind hearted and caring student

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