Cruz Brooks-Hershey Foundation October Student of the Month
Cruz Brooks does an excellent job leading the band as drum major. This football season he has had to juggle his responsibilities to the band as well as to the football team. As a testament to his character and commitment to both activities, Cruz has arranged to march at halftime, after playing a whole first half of football. Cruz is helpful to other students that are struggling. He also jumps in when Mrs. Brittenham asks him to lead/conduct class to give him some teaching experience as he aspires to be a band director some day. He has become an excellent role model and mentor, especially for the younger band members. Cruz is dedicated, a self-starter, goal oriented, and maintains self-discipline to achieve his goals.
