Ayla is a peacemaker and is very kind, her mother said. Here's what makes her a Star Student:

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — 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 Sarah who nominated Ayla of Manahawkin. Sarah is Ayla's mother.
