What her teachers say:
“Camila is a great student and works hard in class! She is responsible and always gets her work done. Camila is also kind and respectful to her fellow classmates. She definitely exhibits the four core values here at Southwest!”
“She’s a model student that sets and meets expectations in and out of the classroom. She is humble and treats others with dignity and respect. Camila also displays the characteristic of being honest and mature above her years. During a recent field trip she found $20 on the ground. Rather than pocketing the money and keeping it for herself, she immediately gave it to a trusted adult.”
“Camilia is an excellent candidate for standout student. She does a great job of working with classmates, she is responsible, and she is kind. She is involved in activities outside of school and is a positive peer leader.”
