A White Board and Markers for Alyssa who loves to play School with her stuffed animals

Posted Dec 16, 2021
Alyssa is an outgoing and bright 13-year-old who LOVES school! She loves going to school to see her friends and also to talk to all of her wonderful teachers. Because Alyssa has been in foster care for years, she has been to many different schools. Her favorite subject in school is science. Alyssa is always playing "School" when at her resource home, where she lines up all of her stuffed animals and pretends that they are the students. She has asked for a whiteboard and markers for Christmas this year so that she can "be like a real teacher" when playing "School" at home.

Alyssa is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Alyssa is a very sweet and social little girl who can always be found dancing to music. She has an Aunt that is almost the same age as her and together they pretend to be on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. Alyssa has been in foster care for most of her life. Her favorite subject in school is science. When Alyssa grows up she wants to be a marine biologist. Alyssa loves to play with her friends. She moved to a new resource home in the summer of 2020 and is really thriving. She loves her new resource family and loves the neighborhood she lives in. There are many kids that live in the neighborhood and they ride bikes every Saturday morning together. Alyssa's resource parents are interested in adopting Alyssa so that she is able to have a forever home.
