Here’s Why Danny Is Shouted Out As Brielle-Area Star Student

We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one who is having an impact in the Brielle area.

(T-Mobile; Patch)

BRIELLE, 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 Leslie Naughton who nominated Danny of Brielle.

Danny is not only a great student and tennis athlete, he is an entrepreneur with a vision. He is the youngest member of the Brielle Chamber of Commerce, having started a business that re-fashions vintage clothes sustainably.

How do you know the star local student?

I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

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

Danny is a special kid. He is a senior at Manasquan High School who has already started his own business, Electrix Vintage.

This is a business that specializes in curating vintage clothing sustainably and creating original graphic designs. He wants to keep old clothing out of the landfills.

In 2022 he has donated over $20,000 in cash and merchandise to local charities. This represents almost 60 percent of his sales.

Danny is an honor roll student, a member of the Squan a Thon executive board, the Homecoming King and a varsity tennis player. He is also the youngest member of the Brielle Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to all of that, he is just a wonderful kid to be around.

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

He is willing to help no matter who needs it or what the cause is. He is never too busy.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Danny!
