Here's Why Lucia & Racquel Are Star Students In Scotch Plains-Fanwood
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's 2 residents who are having an impact in Scotch Plains.
SCOTCH PLAINS-FANWOOD, 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 Suzanne Soares De Jesus who nominated her daughters Lucia (Grade 5) and Raquel (Grade K) of Scotch Plains-Fanwood.

How do you know the star local student?
They are my daughters
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
My girls lost their father 3 years and a month ago and since his passing have become spokes children for IMAGINE, a non profit for loss and grief helping other kids who have experienced loss similar to theirs. They have gotten kindness awards, via their school Saint Bartholomew Academy. They also have maintained amazing academic standing at their school all while navigating not having a father figure present and having their Mom, myself, be both parental figures.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
My daughters everyday make the world better than they found it.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Lucia and Raquel!
