'An All-Around Good Kid': Averi, Toms River Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Toms River.
TOMS RIVER, 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 Laurie Giancola, who nominated her niece, Averi, of Toms River.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Averi is a senior. She has fantastic grades, takes AP classes, all while competing in gymnastics many hours a week for years and on the high school team. She also works with kids for private lessons. She's an all-around good kid.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
She's college-bound! And a caring, great big sister to Ella.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Averi!
