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 Heather, who nominated AJ of Lindenhurst.

Heather, AJ's parent, said that the second-grader has overcome every challenge he faces with determination and strives to help others.
