'Loving And Genuinely Caring': Alicia, Toms River Star Student
We all know students who excel in academics, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who's 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 Kathy, who nominated her daughter, Alicia, of Toms River.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Alicia should be recognized for her dedication to her school work as well as being a model classmate. She is a helpful, loving and genuinely caring person.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Alicia, who's a sophomore, is the most dedicated and hardworking student. She maintains a high GPA in advanced classes and I’m extremely proud of her!
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Alicia!
