Bridgewater Star Student Is Taking To The Sky
We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts, or volunteer service. Here's one local who is making an impact in Bridgewater.

BRIDGEWATER, 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 Rae Martine who nominated her son Zachary of Bridgewater.
