Tell us about your star student's accomplishments and why they deserve to be recognized on Patch!

I am writing to celebrate my son, Dylan, a truly remarkable student at Lake Riviera Middle School. Dylan has faced incredible challenges, including the loss of his father, yet he has channeled his energy and determination into becoming a straight-A student. Learning doesn't always come easy for him, but he consistently puts in the work, turning his ADHD into a superpower that fuels his focus and drive. And beyond school, he is a loving, loyal friend, and emotionally intelligent well beyond his years. Beyond academics, Dylan is a dedicated athlete, playing soccer year-round, participating in school soccer and wrestling, and also playing flag football and basketball. Every day, Dylan makes me incredibly proud with his resilience and commitment to being the best he can be. He is an inspiration to us all.

What three words best describe your star student?

Hard working, determined and caring.
