ac-kid-emic spotlight - The News Herald 2004/2005

Caitlyn Scanlon, 8, of Wyandotte is the ac-kid-emic spotlight pupil of the week.

She was nominated by Estelle Bresnahan, her third-grade teacher at Jefferson Elementary School of Wyandotte.

Caitlyn is the daughter of Rochelle and Daniel Scanlon and the sister of Corie, 12, and Patrick, 6.  She has a guinea pig named Gary, rabbits named Loppy and Bumper and a fish named Bob.

Reading is Caitlyn's favorite subject in school.

"I like to read books and learn new things," she said.

She has good attendance, good citizenship and good grades.

"She always listens and does her best," Bresnahan said.

Caitlyn has studied dance for five years and has played softball for three years.

She said she would like to be a teacher someday, "because I want to be like my mom."

As the student of the week, Caitlyn will receive a four-pack of movie passes to any MJR Theatre or Southgate Cinema 20 and a free class session at the Southgate YMCA Fitness Center.
