Star Student: Emma Excels With Horses In Lower Southampton Township

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —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 Lori Schnitzer who nominated Emma of Lower Southampton Township. Emma is her daughter.

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

Emma consistently maintains A's and B's in school and participates in the Neshaminy High School Buddy's Connect Club working with Special Needs Kids. She also volunteers with One Step at a Time (OSAT) Therapeutic Horseback Riding every Saturday. Emma owns her own horse and understands the responsibilities that go along with ownership. Emma volunteers at her own barn whenever time permits. She takes lessons twice a week and is willing to assist with other horses, jobs, chores, and tasks whenever possible. She is also now starting to plan for college and plan for the future.
