Long Branch-Eatontown Teen Recognized As A Star Student

LONG BRANCH, NJ — 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 Patricia and Joseph Grasso, who nominated Alex Grace, an eighth grader in the Long Branch-Eatontown area.

How do you know the star local student?

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

She is high honor student and vice president of the honor society. Alex gives 100 percent every day in academics, then after school she practices for dance. She is on a competition team locally. She has been a guest speaker numerous times for Board of Education meetings and mock council meetings at city hall.

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

Alex is always smiling. She has been a dance student for the past 12 years, with many trophies with platinum and gold status.

Congratulations on your achievements, and best wishes in the future, Alex Grace!
