Keystone Federal Credit Union of West Chester, in cooperation with the Chester County Intermediate Unit, announces the winners in the Fourth Annual “Shining Star” Awards.
The award was created to recognize students who have shown a noticeable improvement in academic performance, extra-curricular involvement, and attendance throughout the school year.
Chester County public school teachers nominated their most improved students for the award. Each teacher wrote a paragraph nominating a student from one of their classes whom they felt embodied the spirit of this award.
Awards were available to one student from the elementary (K-5), middle (6-8), and high school (9-12) levels from each of the 12 Chester County Public School Districts, the Chester County Intermediate Unit, and Twin Valley School District.
This year's 25 winners from across the county included the following three Octorara students:
- Wyatt DeStephano -- Primary Learning Center
- Omar Barajas -- Octorara Intermediate School
- Jose Avila -- Octorara High School
“Shining Star” winners each received a $200 share certificate of deposit and a trophy from Keystone FCU. Plus, the teachers of the winning students each received a $200 gift certificate to a teacher supply store for classroom supplies.
