Freehold's Samantha Cited As A Star Student: Here's Why
We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's a local student who is having an impact in Freehold.

FREEHOLD, 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 Melissa who nominated her sibling, Samantha, 11th Grade of Freehold.
"Always the youngest student in the room," describes Samantha, her sibling says. In addition to excelling in academics and Girl Scouts, Samantha is sociable with all ages and fits in dancing and singing.
