Theater Department: Josie Heys

Josie works hard on and off the stage. She is a perfectionist who like to "get it right." Whether doing choreography or set design Josie works hard on every single detail. In Stagecraft Josie has mastered every type of saw we use in class. I can simply give her a cut list and by the end of class I have a collection of wood cut to right length. Josie is quick with a drill and always willing to lend a hand where needed. When given a job I know Josie will not only complete the task in a timely manner, it will be done right the first time.

I am nominating Ciarah Rittenhouse for the Wilmington High School Mathematics student of month for February.
