'I Just Want To See Them Happy': Chantilly Star Student

We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Chantilly.

Suhas held a lemonade sale last year and donated $100 to the Alex’s Lemonade Stand charity. He also gave away drinks to thirsty Chantilly neighbors when it was hot outside.

CHANTILLY, VA — 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 Manorama Joisha, who nominated his son, Suhas, a fourth-grader in Chantilly.

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

Suhas is kind and hard working, a community volunteer, a gifted student and also a Cub Scout.

He held a lemonade sale last year and donated $100 to the Alex’s Lemonade Stand charity. "Not only that, but he also insisted that we give away ice cold lemonade to any of our thirsty friends and neighbors for free, as it used to be very hot outside sometimes during last summer," his dad said.

Suhas says, “I just want to see them happy!”

He is also an avid reader who regularly participates in the local library book club.

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

Suhas is a very kind human being and cares for everyone he knows. He is also a very generous and wants to do his best every day.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future,Suhas 4th grader!
