Star Student: Samantha Excels At Helping Others In South Kingstown

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, RI — 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 Jill Granville who nominated her daughter Samantha of South Kingstown.

In addition to her academic achievements she works at the Vanilla Bean ice cream shop in the summer to save for college and her personal expenses.
