About this Kid

Alphonse is a friendly kiddo who loves to make people laugh! Those who know him best notice that he is always smiling, especially while watching his favorite movie, Shrek and Shrek: The Musical. Alphonse loves to be outside jumping on the trampoline, swimming, riding his bike, and playing kickball. He enjoys staying active and helping others, particularly in the kitchen with cooking, baking, or helping with farm animals. If Alphonse could be like Dr. Doolittle and talk with animals, that would be his dream! Horses and dogs are his favorite, but he really enjoys being with all animals. His imagination goes wild when playing with Hot Wheels and LEGOs. Alphonse likes working on trucks and coloring, usually opting for blue and green colors as those are his favorites. To refuel after an active day, he loves a slice (or two) of pizza and ice cream for dessert. Alphonse likes to meet new people and enjoys making friends. He is described as respectful and has many positive relationships with adults.

This sixth grader’s favorite subject is reading.
