This year she will be playing the lead role of Jo March in the upcoming LC production of Little Women in April.

Josiah Lapp
Senior
Josiah Lapp, son of Amos and Anna Lapp, is a senior at Lititz Christian School who loves school. He states that his love of school stems from his love for his friends, who make it worth all the hard work. His favorite “classes” are lunch and recess primarily because he can eat good food, play some games, and spend time with his friends. (Although he also enjoys history.)
He is involved in a host of extracurricular activities at LC: soccer, basketball, baseball, choir, worship arts, National Honor Society, and student council. In his spare time, Joey likes to play baseball with his family, draw, play disc golf, and hang out with his dog Kevin. He goes to a small church called the Open Door Tabernacle, located in Stevens, PA.
Joey’s biggest accomplishment in life is running 10 miles in one day after completing a 120-mile backpacking trip in 10 days.
If he could change one thing in the world today, it would be that every child could have a safe and loving home, similar to the love that Jesus shows us. He admires his parents because of their strong work ethic and for teaching him that he should not work for his own gain, but for the glory of God.
After Joey graduates he plans to go to OneLife, a Christian gap-year program. From there he plans to follow wherever the Lord is leading him next.
