Bringing Kindness To School: Hinsdale Star Students

HINSDALE, IL – 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 Mary Osanloo, who nominated Oak Elementary's second-grade boys in Hinsdale.

How do you know the Star local students?

My son is a member.

Why do you believe the Star local students should be recognized?

The 2nd-grade boys at Oak have worked hard to bring kindness to their school, include all students and help our community. They took initiative and held a hot chocolate stand in December to raise money for the Hinsdale Humane Society and sold hot cocoa, goodies and pet treats and sang Christmas carols. They delivered over $800 to the HHS and gave the extra goodies to our local law enforcement and firehouse.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the Star local students?

They strive to spread kindness in and outside the classroom.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Oak Elementary 2nd Grade Boys!
