MOUNT VERNON, 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 Erin Anderson, who nominated her daughter, Eliza of Mount Vernon.

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

Eliza has spent countless hours volunteering for a variety of after school programs at her Alma mater elementary school as an assistant for after school clubs and family programs. She also volunteers as a helper in the summer for a local VBS program. Eliza has a positive attitude and her generous heart makes her a great role model and leader for the kids she works with. She understands the importance of community service and shares this understanding with those she works with.

Eliza has a very generous heart and approaches tasks with positivity, fairness and humor, which is what makes her a strong leader and role model.

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