Josilyn is smart, hillarious, & kind. She’s a talented interper & does the best voices (also an excellent baker)! Most importantly, we’ll miss the way she makes everyone feel welcome & valued. Jos is a wonderful human & everyone on her Canadian adventure is lucky to have her💚💛

This talented group of Raiders + several others are launching a fundraiser today to try to pay for Nationals this summer. Money is tight, airports & policies have made this trip more expensive than anticipated, and school is not able to support our travel.
