‘Selfless, Dependable, Professional’: Sarasota Star Student

SARASOTA, FL — 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 Nick Pilon who nominated Lacy, an 11th-grader in Sarasota.

Lacy lives and breathes this mission and puts herself in challenging situations if it means the opportunity to raise awareness and educate.
