STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to our Canton ISD Student of the Week, Allison Castillo.
Allison is a fifth-grade student in Miss Adams’ class and the daughter of Oscar Castillo and SanJuana Platas. She has attended Canton ISD since kindergarten.
Her favorite subject is math, and she enjoys playing soccer with her family. Outside of school, Allison loves caring for her animals, including horses, chickens, and a cat.
Allison hopes to become a teacher one day and has already decided she would like to teach fourth grade. She is the youngest in her family, with one sister and two brothers, and she speaks both English and Spanish.
Allison is also being recognized for the kindness, work ethic, and positive attitude she demonstrates each day.
One of Allison’s teachers, Mrs. O'Leary shared that Allison is “kind, polite, and hardworking.” Dr. Lloyd echoed those sentiments, noting how much Allison has grown during her time at CIS and how consistently she treats others with kindness and respect.
