STAFFORD COUNTY, VA — Anyone can make a difference in their community. Each day, students and young people around the region work hard and support the people around them.

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 Laura-Céline Patrick who nominated Niko, 5th Grade of Fredericksburg. Niko's mother nominated him after the Stafford County Public Schools superintendent named him as a Shining Star last month.
