Please join us in congratulating our November 2021 “Do The Right Thing” recipients. These students exemplified what it means to “Do The Right Thing.”

Samuel Foster, Oasis Middle School – 6th Grade

A small group of students were pushing and shoving as they exited the classroom.  A wreath was accidentally damaged. Sam volunteered to take the wreath home to fix it and returned it back to its original condition. 

The Cape Coral Police Department’s Do The Right Thing Program would like to commend Samuel for his empathy and for being a great role model.

Zachary Arthur Cape Elementary School – 2nd Grade

During the medical emergency of a beloved family member, Zach was extremely helpful to his Nana and demonstrated a high level of maturity and bravery in a very emotional and chaotic situation.

During the chaos, Zach was able to maintain his composure and provide address information which was crucial to emergency responders. He called his parents and he also helped with his 3-year-old sister as the medical team provided assistance. Although the outcome was not what they had hoped, his family is extremely proud of him. 

The Cape Coral Police Department’s Do The Right Thing Program would like to recognize Zachary for his heroic efforts.

Presley Gibson Caloosa Middle School – 7th Grade

A student brought potentially harmful contraband to school. On the way home on the bus, the student started talking about having it with him. 

Presley heard him and poured water on herself so that she could go to the front of the bus to “get a towel”. While up there, she told the bus driver about the potentially harmful contraband. The driver phoned the incident to the police. The police showed up and took possession of the harmful contraband and no one was hurt. Thankfully, Presley chose to do the right thing and keep everyone safe.

The Cape Coral Police Department’s Do The Right Thing Program would like to recognize Presley for her bravery.

Kalel Hernandez Caloosa Middle School – 7th Grade

One morning before school, two students got into an argument and then started pushing each other. 

Kalel quickly got in between them and prevented them from having any further contact. 

Kalel acted in a mature manner and did the right thing by preventing anyone from getting hurt. 

The Cape Coral Police Department’s Do The Right Thing Program would like to recognize Kalel for his commitment and good character.

Lionel McGriff Caloosa Middle School – 8th Grade

Lionel found a baby rabbit at the bus stop.  He brought the rabbit to school to ask for help. They contacted the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) and got them to come to school to pick up the baby rabbit.  Lionel did the right thing to ensure the rabbit’s safety.

The Cape Coral Police Department’s Do The Right Thing Program would like to commend Lionel for his empathy and for being a great role model.
