HAUPPAUGE, NY — 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 Gloria Kocal, who nominated Vincent of Hauppauge.

How do you know the star local student?

Friend

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

Vincent has to be the kindest, caring, honest and respectful mature 10-year-old young man I had the pleasure of getting to know. He strives to be the best he can in all that he does from academics, Boy Scouts, Karate, and travel soccer where he was recently named MVP Goalie. He is always ready to lend a helping hand at a local food pantry, or fundraising for a good cause. He is one of those kids you can confidently always count on. Vincent’s character will definitely bring happiness and success in his bright future.

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

His kind, caring, respectful, and honest character

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