Here’s Why Michael Was Shouted Out As A Bel Air Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Bel Air.

BEL AIR, 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 was written by Pennylynn Marcinkiewicz who nominated Michael, an 8th grader from Bel Air.
