Student of the Week Amari Duenas

Third-grader at Lew Wallace Elementary School

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

From Amari's teacher, Jennifer Bayley:

Amari Due'ñas loves to write and create! He composes and crafts books and toys from paper to give away at our Grab N Go at Lew Wallace. Recently, Amari made an invention that allows him to lower his books down to the sidewalk from his downtown apartment, giving them away to anyone who is passing by.  

Amari loves to invent! He invented a motor-powered robot named Clinten. 

And Amari loves to dance! He makes up his own movements and has a YouTube channel. Amari's sense of movement is amazing.
