'Always Quick With A Witty Joke': Local Girl Named A Star Student

APPLE VALLEY-ROSEMOUNT, MN — 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 Jenny Stern who nominated Ellie, grade 9, of Apple Valley-Rosemount.

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

Ellie just finished her first year of high school at Eastview High School and had an amazing year. She was enrolled in 4 honors courses throughout the year and maintained a high enough GPA to earn an academic letter! Additionally, Ellie has been involved in many extracurricular activities throughout the school year including Symphony, 9th grade Select choir, Varsity Band, and Tae Kwon Do. Additionally, she was recently placed into the symphonic band and will be joining the marching band this summer.

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

Ellie is a caring, hardworking, creative, thoughtful and kind individual. She loves art, spending time with her family and friends, and is always quick with a witty joke to make you laugh. We are incredibly proud of her and all she has accomplished this year!

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