Serenity Overcomes Hardships: Barnegat-Manahawkin Star Student

BARNEGAT-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 Alexa who nominated Serenity of Barnegat-Manahawkin. Alexa is Serenity's mother.

How do you know the star local student?

Daughter

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

My daughter Serenity was placed with her grand mother until she was 6. She was never registered in school until she came back to live with her mom; she was 6. She skipped kindergarten and at first she was struggling. She worked very hard and just last month was named student of the month. Good job Serenity. Keep up the good work. Mom is proud of you.

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

She has worked very hard and her mom and dad are so proud of her.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Serenity 3rd grade!
