MN Star Student: Thomas Ondrey Of Saint Thomas Academy

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, 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 John Kenney who nominated Thomas Ondrey of Mendota Heights.

How do you know the star local student?

I work at Saint Thomas Academy and he is a student here.

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

For the past two years, Tommy has organized a ski trip to Buck Hill for kids that are part of the Neighborhood House on the West Side.

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

Tommy has worked countless hours over the past three years to make this happen. He set up a Go Fund Me page to help with the cost of this event and give the opportunity for kids to take part in such a wonderful activity. Tommy is a member of the STA Alpine Ski Team and he involved the entire team and parents to take part in this event.

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