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

I believe Jayden should be recognized because he is an absolutely amazing kid/ student/ athlete. And in that order. Jayden has always taken pride in getting good grades and being the best at what he does. Jayden eats sleeps and breaths anything that has to do with baseball. He is Aberdeen's only varsity catcher. Jayden is the captain of his team and prides in teaching others anything he can.

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

Jayden loves giving back. He has dedicated himself to the miracle league of Harford County. He spends his free Saturdays teaching kids with special needs the love of baseball. He helps these kids shine one at a time!!

Keep up the great work, Jayden 11th!
