Student of the Week Brooklyn Upton

8th grader at Taft Middle School

Nusenda Credit Union, in partnership with the APS Education Foundation, highlights an APS student each week.

What Brooklyn says about school: I have been so fortunate to have had an amazing school experience. I have had wonderful teachers who challenge me, push me, and encourage me to grow. I recently started band, and am really enjoying growing creatively as well as academically.

Favorite subject: My favorite subject is math because there are always several ways to solve an equation so you can choose whichever way suits you the best.

Hobbies and activities: Some hobbies I have are reading, playing the flute (both for fun and for school), painting and drawing. I love playing with my cat and taking walks in the bosque with my mom and dogs.
