Here's Why Avery Was Shouted Out As A Portsmouth Star Student

PORTSMOUTH, 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 Chelsea who nominated her daughter Avery of Portsmouth.

How do you know the star local student?

She is my daughter.

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

Avery trains all winter long in the freezing cold on her horse Riley to prepare for competition starting in June, culminating in the World Championship Horse Show in October. This will be here third year. She does this while maintaining excellent grades, playing basketball and displaying maturity, kindness and integrity well beyond her years.

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

She is one of the kindest, most compassionate young girls you will ever meet. She continuously looks for ways to lift other people up.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Avery 5th grade!
