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 Kimberly P.

How do you know the star local student?

Daughter and student of mine.

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

This student does not seek to be recognized for her accomplishments. She is a humble and virtuous young lady. She takes a full load of honors classes at a private school. She makes the headmaster's list.

She has participated in honor bands and has even been recognized for her polished French horn performances. She is co-president of her school’s Spanish club. She also volunteers after school at the school after-school program to help with homework or entertain primary students.

She doesn’t complain or take for granted the gifts that make her who she is. She has been on Varsity swim since 9th grade and enjoys being a leader in her school. She is often the one in the background who prefers to write the script for someone else to shine.

This year she is a senior and will be looking for a vocation that provides service to others.

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

She is virtuous and humble and seeks to bring real joy to those she encounters.

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