Aspiring Journalist From Annapolis Volunteers At Shelter: Star Student

ANNAPOLIS, MD — 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 Robert E Saunders III who nominated Lily, an 11th-grader from Annapolis.

How do you know the star local student?

Daughter

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

She is a member of National Honor Society, editor of the Broadneck High School newspaper, and will complete 6 AP courses by the end of her Junior Year. As an aspiring journalist, she has attended the Washington Journalism and Media Conference (and now serves as a member of the Youth Advisory Board for the Conference), and was accepted to the National Student Leadership Conference with a concentration in Journalism at American University in Summer 2023. She is actively engaged with volunteer opportunities at Broadneck High, the Travis Manion Foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Light House Shelter.

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

Lily's boundless energy, relentless drive, and engagement with her school and the wider community has served as a source of inspiration for her siblings, fellow students, and will certainly lead her to extraordinary experiences in the future!

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