Star Student Keeps Busy As A Bee Serving As An Example To Us All

BEDFORD, NY — This Star Student had accomplished more by the time he was 14 than many of us will in a lifetime — but that's nothing compared to what the future might hold for this remarkable scholar.

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 Helen who nominated Cole of Bedford, New York.
