OSWEGO, 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 Dan McNanna who nominated his daughter, Madison, a freshman in Oswego.

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

Madison is academically gifted (all A's in all honors classes). She is in Commotion (a show choir group) in her high school (Oswego H.S.). She practices ballet and plays and will soon teach piano!

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

She is the most thoughtful person I have ever met!
