DADISI CREW

MAYA

Dre is thoughtful, athletic, and very protective of his friends. He is the most courageous of them all. He and Maya are always competing with each other which drive their friends nuts!

MAKAYLA

Makayla is the youngest of the crew and can be, well a little bit flighty. Makayla sees the world in colors and is a sensitive, free-thinking optimist. Makayla is also a southern belle with a great southern drawl and an even better sense of style! If you are ever looking for Makayla outside of the classroom, wherever you find her she will be adding a little color, style, and flair to whatever she is doing!

OSCAR

Oscar’s dad always said that he was born a fish! He loves to swim and be anywhere near water. Oscar loves to share fun facts. Sometimes when he starts “Did you know?” Maya speaks up and says, “Who cares Oscar!” But he persists anyway. Oscar is sensitive to the moods of others and is not afraid to call out a bully. Sometimes he jumps to conclusions too fast though and speaks before he thinks though. Oscar speaks three official languages, well five if you count dolphin and sea turtle.

AMARA

Amara is the environmentalist of the crew. You won’t make her mad very often but littering and not taking care of the planet gets her going. Amara encourages all her friends to recycle.
