This Iselin Girl, 18, Works Hard To Make Woodbridge A Better Place

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Star Students are found in classrooms, on the playing field, on concert and theater stages and out in the community doing 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 Heather Migliorato-Petri, who nominated her child, Caelyn, 18, of Iselin.

Caelyn is 18 years old and a twelfth grader at JFK High School in Iselin. She not only excels in school, but is a huge supporter of the girls' wrestling team at all three Woodbridge high schools.

She also volunteers a lot at her church with the church youth group and with the younger children.

She is a huge supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and supports everyone in that community.

She also helps out at all the high school band functions and concerts, even though she is not a member of any of the ensembles.

Caelyn is passionate about women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights and strives to make the world a better place with equality for all.

This content is brought to our community through Patch's partnership with T-Mobile.
