Patch Star Local Student 'Always Willing To Help The Less Fortunate'

SPOTSYLVANIA, 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 Erika Hilliard who nominated Rayne Hilliard of Spotsylvania, Virginia.

Grandson

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

Because we instilled in him at a early age to serve and do whatever/whenever he can to help serve others. Even though education is important a main priority but it's the concept of giving back. You don't need a degree to serve and stay focused. Just wanted to make a difference and to get others involved and instead of doing negative things do something positive and it's shows and you'll be proud of the accomplishments.

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

He is so willing to put forth the effort and always willing to help the less fortunate. As well as helping the elders and beautying our earth. Hoping that when one sees his efforts that they follow.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Rayne Hilliard!
