Edison Star Student Creates Prototype To Sort Recyclables From Trash

EDISON, 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 Nicole Cirillo who nominated Rayansh, Grade 5 of Edison. Cirillo is the principal at Woodbrook Elementary School and has said Rayansh is a student who always takes initiative.
