ac-kid-emic spotlight - The News Herald - January 2, 2008

Tyler Fugate, 11 of Wyandotte is the ac-kid-emic spotlight pupil of the week.

He was nominated by Cathy Auler, his fifth grade teacher at Garfield Elementary School in Wyandotte.

Tyler is the son of Christina and Jeffrey Flynn, and the brother of Shane, 9, and Jeremy, 4.

He excels in all his school work, his teacher said, but social studies is his favorite subject of all.

"My favorite subject is social studies because you learn about America's history," Tyler said.

He is a school safety, plays drums and xylophone in the school band, is a member of the chess club, and enjoys playing baseball, soccer and basketball.  Someday, Tyler would like to teach mythology.

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