NJ 'Star Student' Volunteers At Toni's Kitchen In Montclair

MONTCLAIR, 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 in New Jersey, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

One such person? Sofia, a 9th-grader who volunteers at Toni's Kitchen in Montclair.
