The Elks of Wareham Lodge No. 1548 sponsors the Elks Student of the Month and Student of the Year Awards for students enrolled in local area high schools. The criteria used in nominating a student includes a student who excels in scholarship, citizenship, performing arts, fine arts, hobbies, athletics, church, school and community service, industry and farming.
The student of the month for February is none other than Cameron Hamilton. He is currently a junior at the ORR High School and was nominated by his Mathematics Teacher, Micah Kidney. Cameron has made vast improvements in his effort and performance during the last four months and is currently one of the higher scoring and motivated students in a very challenging Algebra 2 course. He has become the model within the class for both effort and attitude. He is also the starting quarterback on the highly successful ORR football team and is putting together a very solid academic and athletic resume.
