🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟

Cameron is a 2nd grader at North Topsail Elementary, recognized for leadership, inclusion, and awareness.

Cameron recently stood out for how he handled a situation with classmates. After noticing a peer being bullied, he encouraged other students to look out for that classmate. He also took time to talk privately with both students involved and helped guide a conversation where the situation was addressed and resolved.

In general, Cameron looks out for others throughout the school day. He includes classmates, checks on students who seem upset, and helps when someone needs it. Staff and peers see him as someone who treats others with respect and tries to do the right thing.

Outside of school, Cameron enjoys baseball ⚾, basketball 🏀, soccer ⚽, and spending time playing with friends. His favorite foods are cheeseburgers 🍔 and pizza 🍕, and his favorite colors are black and red 🖤❤️.

One interesting fact—Cameron is ambidextrous, meaning he can use both his arms and legs equally well.

❤️ Thank you, Cameron, for the example you set at North Topsail Elementary.
