There are countless ways to shine. From academic success to community involvement, local students are making themselves, their schools, their city and their country better in myriad ways, and enjoying themselves along the way.

The Burnaby NOW is featuring photos of local students enjoying their schools, being recognized for hard work, volunteering in the community and any other ways they are "shining" in Burnaby.
