Here’s Why Brandon Was Shouted Out As A Marlboro-Area Star Student

MARLBORO-COLTS NECK, 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 teacher Kelly Lang who nominated Brandon, Grade 11, of Marlboro-Colts Neck.

Brandon wrote a children's book to help children with epilepsy learn about the Ketogenic Diet for epilepsy. The book came about from his own success with the medically prescribed diet, his teacher says.

How do you know the star local student?

I was his Grade 11 English teacher.

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

Brandon wrote a children's book called "Krazy for Keto" which is the story of a young boy's successful journey on the medically prescribed Ketogenic Diet for epilepsy. This story is based on his real-life experience.

Brandon has done this because he wants to help children and families who are struggling with this condition.

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

Brandon is a modest and very caring individual.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Brandon, Grade 11!
