Every Wednesday morning when the sky is still fairly dark, Kyle Cheek rushes to get ready to go to Cotton Indian Elementary School. He tells his mother Michelle Cheek he is trying to get to school early. And she happily obliges the 8-year-old third grader. She does the same on Thursdays for Kyle's sister Jessica. She is a 9-year-old fourth grader at Cotton Indian Elementary.
