'Annika Has A Heart For Kids And Animals': Star Student

Roseville, California — 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 Valerie Brandt who nominated Annika of Roseville, California.

This past spring break she helped a family who’d been living in a makeshift home by building a brand new house for them. She has also volunteered at her church in various places
