MEDFORD, MA — 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 Jen Caruso who nominated Emma of Medford. Emma has worked with Caruso's nonprofit, Swirls Around the World, to raise awareness about Ewing Sarcoma.

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

Emma goes above and beyond in all areas; from being an excellent and dedicated scholar, to a Star athlete, a wonderful friend, and dedicated volunteer — she always puts 110% of her heart into all that she does. As a middle school student, Emma organized the very first Swirls Around the World bake sale with Medford High School, and she has made it an annual tradition. Emma defines what it means to be a rockstar and it is an honor to nominate her.

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

Emma has a heart of gold and she aspires to be a nurse. She is going to continue to make a positive impact on the lives of others and in this world.

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