BERKELEY, 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 Jodie who nominated Jaylyn & Joseph of Berkeley. Jodie is the proud mother of the twins.

How do you know the star local student?

I'm their proud momma!

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

Although going through some unforseen but serious family issues, they still managed to pass their test to go their correct grade; after their credits were withheld last year. Out of the 4 students the school offered this opportunity too my twins were the only 2 students to prevail! They have truly come so far. They have daily struggles but no matter what they keep shinning

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

Unstoppable! They are so determined

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