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 Jennifer, who nominated her daughter, Francesca, a third grader from Toms River.

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

Francesca is a caring young girl always willing to help anyone in need. Francesca excels in school and loves to play soccer. Francesca also loves playing piano.

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

Francesca is a loving, loyal and caring young girl who cares very much for her family and classmates at St. Joseph Grammar School.

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