Tell us about your star student's accomplishments and why they deserve to be recognized on Patch!
Ariana is my little sister, and we’re all so proud of her. She’s not only incredibly smart and does great in school, but she’s also one of the kindest, most empathetic people you could meet. She has such a sweet way of making everyone feel included and cared for, which is really special. She’s been working hard at gymnastics, learning impressive tricks, and has a big performance coming up at the Algonquin Theatre—we can’t wait to see her shine. My parents, our littlest sister Brianna (who looks up to her so much), and I couldn’t be prouder of everything she’s done. Ariana, we love you so much—you’re amazing in every way, and I’m so happy to be your sister!
