Tell us about your star student's accomplishments and why they deserve to be recognized on Patch!

Presley is such a wonderful human. She is all of ten years old and one of the smartest, sweetest, athletic people I know. She just completed her third grade curriculum as a homeschooled student. She reads for pleasure, well above her grade level, on a daily basis. She aspires to be a veterinarian. To work towards that goal she helps on a farm weekly learning about the skills to run a farm and tend to the animals. She attends a class at a zoo as well. She loves to play basketball. She is a fierce, talented player that is constantly practicing to better her skills.

What three words best describe your star student?

Kind, sweet, skilled
