Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness:
“Vote for Cameron Graber and you’re guaranteed a smile!” was the slogan Cameron believes earned him the position of eighth grade student council president at Geneva Middle School South. Cameron also credits his landslide win against three other students to his points brought up in his speech: better food in the cafeteria and fun assemblies.

Cameron is fulfilling his promises throughout the year with events such as a student vs. faculty basketball game and a pennies for patients team competition for leukemia research. This Friday, he is also organizing a beach party for seventh and eighth graders including dancing, beach balls and hula hoops. The party is free with a student ID.
Included in his presidential duties was preparing and giving a speech at City Hall to kick off Red Ribbon Week. Cameron’s words focused on how doing drugs now can destroy your future and everyone needs to work together to stop family and friends from doing drugs. With years of acting behind him, he wasn’t too nervous. Most recently, Cameron was also a narrator in the eighth grade musical Beauty and the Beast.
As if he isn’t busy enough, Cameron is also active in the Yearbook Club, babysitting, pet sitting and with his church at Feed My Starving Children packing food for those in need.
And he continues to do it all… with a smile!
