Rachel Zimmers, 8 of Wyandotte.
Rachel Zimmers, 8, of Wyandotte is the ac-kid-emic spotlight pupil of the week.

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

She is the daughter of Ronnie and Amy Zimmers, and has two brothers, Ronnie, 13, and Ryan, 12. She also has a dog, Minnie, and a hamster, Reesee.

Rachel makes good grades in school, her teacher said, and her favorite subject is math.

"I like adding," she said.

She also enjoys bowling, dancing and baseball when she's not doing schoolwork.

She hopes to be a nurse someday, and has had some daily practice at one aspect of the profession.

"I like giving people shots, "Rachel said. "I give my dad one every night."

Rachel's father is diabetic, and gets insulin from his daughter.

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

Congratulations, Rachel. Keep up the good work.
