Multi-instrumentalist Niles West Star Student Releases Debut Record
The Skokie 11th grader plays violin, guitar, piano, drums, sings and produces music.
SKOKIE, 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 Natalie Frakes, the orchestra director at Niles West High School. Frakes nominated Elijah, an 11th grader from Skokie.
