Meet Jocey!

Introducing 6-year-old Jocey, affectionately known as “Little Miss Sunshine!” This girl’s smile and positivity don’t just light up the room, they brighten the whole block! She has the energy and creativity of a girl 3x her size and it’s hard not to smile when she’s around. She is as kind as she is silly; she’s helpful, engaging and outgoing. Jocey’s favorite color is “rainbow sparkle gold with silver “ and, if ever there was a color that matched her vibrant personality, this would be it!

Jocey just started 1st grade and is very bright. She’s excited about school and her favorite things to do there are: play with her friends at recess, listen to stories and relax in her classroom’s ‘calming corner.’ In her free time Jocey loves singing, dancing, spinning, writing songs and performing! She has star-power and charisma; we may be watching her on the big screen someday! She also enjoys spending time with her bestie who she calls her ‘friend twin’.

Little Miss Sunshine can hardly wait for Halloween when she can carve pumpkins and go trick-or-treating as either “a cute pumpkin cat girl” or a “butterfly rainbow glitter girl with a tutu.” Decisions, decisions. No matter which one she chooses, she’s bound to be the most lively girl on the block.
