'Kind, Articulate & Hard-Working': Newtown 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 Newtown.

NEWTOWN, 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 Christy Nieves who nominated 8th grader Cameron of Newtown.
Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
Cameron is a kind, articulate and hard-working student. He has overcome many obstacles that allow him to be a solid friend and a person most adults are proud to know and interact with.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
Cameron is funny, smart and a truly talented artist. He is going places and all that know him cannot wait to see how far he will go.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Cameron!
