Rockville Star Student: Eighth-Grader Speaks To MD General Assembly

ROCKVILLE, 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 math teacher Katie Cain, who nominated her student Bethel. The eighth-grader from Rockville recently traveled to Annapolis with her school principal to speak about funding for school choice in front of the state legislature.
