We chose Josie because she has worked so hard on all the windows for Christmas in Hohenwald the last couple of years. She is such a hard worker and is amazing at what she does. We hope you enjoy reading a little bit about her this week. Merry Christmas!!

A.) I would have to say making up dances, making home movies with my sisters.

Q.) What did you want to be as a kid? What did you actually become?
