Student of the Week Desi Gonzales

5th grader at Dennis Chavez Elementary School

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

What Desi's teachers say about him: "Desi has a heart of gold, and he is always caring for others. He is curious and wanting to learn a lot. He is so loving, and I love that about him. He tries really hard and will always try something, even if it is challenging! He is a pretty spectacular kid." - Mrs. Parker 

"He is an amazing kiddo. He is so kind, generous, and honest. He works really hard, follows directions, and is very curious and asks great questions. He seems to love history and learning about historical figures." - Ms. Montoya 

Favorite subject: I like math because I am really good at it and it is easy.

Hobbies and activities: I like playing outside and watching football. My favorite team is the Rams. I also like to golf and spend the night at my nana's. And I also like to do art and play music on my iPad.
