'Always Thinking About Others': Lindenhurst Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Lindenhurst.
LINDENHURST, 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 Susan Ropenus who nominated her son, James of Lindenhurst.
Ropenus told Patch that James is a second-grader who loves the environment and is always thinking about others.
