Marksboro Community Church

Tessa is a princess at heart who loves Disney, sparkles, and dancing. While her favorite colors have shifted to light blue and light green, she still enjoys girly things. A fan of movies and music, she adores Stitch and has a collection of related items. Tessa is close to her family, especially her pre-adoptive mom, and loves dancing with younger kids. She dreams of becoming a dance teacher one day!

Tessa wants a phone to stay connected with her friends, but her adoptive mom is concerned about the potential dangers associated with having one. Fortunately, they found a phone that allows Tessa to contact her friends and family without the anxiety and pressures that come with social media and unrestricted internet access. It offers access to hundreds of vetted apps, granting Tessa the independence she desires.
