Activities in school: Tony is head of Oyama's Student Council and is a constant volunteer, from painting faces during the school carnival to reading to kindergartners. One day stands out to Delia DeSoto, Oyama's office manager, who nominated Tony to be a Student of the Week. On Sept. 14, 2007, when nearly 40 percent of district teachers protested stalled labor negotiations by calling in sick, the fifth-graders at Oyama worked with kindergartners, DeSoto recalled. Nogales was one of the students who looked out for the younger children, she said.

"He was taking kindergartners to the bathroom, to the cafeteria for food, and mentored them on that single day, which was a long day," DeSoto said.

Activities outside of school: Nogales likes to ride his bike along the Santa Cruz River.

Whom would you have lunch with if you could have lunch with anyone? Tony said he would want to dine with his brother Antonio Frank, which surprised his mother. Antonio Frank would have been Tony's older brother by four years, she explained, but he lived only three days.

"I would ask him how he's doing," Tony said about lunch with his older brother. They would go to the Olive Garden and order lasagna, Tony said.

What books are you reading now? "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." "It's my favorite book," he said.

Whom do you admire most? Tony looks up to his 21-year-old brother, Jose Montenegro, who is serving in the Marine Corps.

Plans for future: After high school, he wants to join the Marines. He would like to come back to Tucson, study at the University of Arizona and become a teacher.

Dream job: "I would like to teach fifth grade," Tony said, adding that he'd like to return to Oyama to teach.

Dream car: 2008 Dodge Ram.

Favorite place in Tucson: "The Santa Cruz River is the place I grew up at and spend most of my time at," Tony said.

Hidden talents: Tony said he can put his leg behind his head and also is able to crush empty milk cartons with his shoulder blades.

"He pops out his shoulder blades," Mary Gastelum said. "They look like wings."

Vouch: "He's very outgoing," his mother said. "If he can find a way to help you, he won't hesitate."
