'He'll Give The Shirt Off His Back': Cheshire Star Student

We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact in Cheshire.

CHESHIRE, CT — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

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 Jillian, who nominated her son, Cameron, a 12th grader at Waterbury Arts Magnet School.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

My son goes above and beyond. He’s an autistic kid who’s about to graduate high school. He’s so sweet, he’ll give the shirt off his back. He’s an A student. He loves everyone and loves to make people laugh and smile.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

He’s an amazing young kid who loves to smile and laugh.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Cameron!
