Freshman candidate Josephine Nicols is an outgoing, generous and loving student at Monroe High who recently transferred from SMCC. She enjoys doing theatre and is also a part of choir.

“I guess people like me more than I originally thought,” Nicols said. “But I was definitely surprised, but happy.”

Nicols’ favorite thing to do in the winter is stay warm and cozy, but she said she is willing to give some of that up to be on Winterfest court.

“I can’t wait for the assembly,” Nicols said, “and I can’t wait for the actual dance as well.”
