MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — Madison County Elementary will be hosting a pep rally to honor an 8th grade student who survived cancer.
According to the school district, an eighth grade student named Josslyne, has completed her final cancer treatment.
The entire school community will come together to recognize her strength, courage, and perseverance during a pep rally on Friday, September 26 at 10 a.m. in the school gymnasium.
