Toms River's Maylene Cited As Star Student: Here's Why
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 Michael James Andrejko, who nominated his daughter, Maylene, who is a junior in high school in Toms River.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Maylene studies hard, has outstanding grades and belongs to several clubs in her high school.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
She is determined to set goals and achieve them through hard work and discipline.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Maylene!
