Josie is shining her light! 💡📚 For her birthday this year, Josie, a student at Cross Timbers, asked friends and family to purchase or donate gently used books in place of gifts. Then, at this week's Summer School, she sorted the books and gave them to fellow students who are working on building their home library. Way to shine, Josie! ✨ #ShineYourLight
