Girl Scouts is More than Just Cookies
Each year, January is a month of new beginnings. Resolutions to make changes in your life are often put into place every year on January 1. Each new year also challenges us to make this year the best it can be. For the Girl Scouts, January marks the beginning of one of the biggest events it is known for: Girl Scout cookie sales. While Thin Mints and Trefoils are often synonymous with the Girl Scouts, Girl Scouts is definitely more than just cookies.
Wheeler Makes Strides in ALS Research
“Life,” John Lennon wrote, “is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Those words could have been written for Josh Wheeler. He and his brother, Jake, grew up on Signal Mountain near Robert’s Mill, next door to his grandparents’ home and 2,000 acres of protected land. “We spent the summers swimming in the lake and roaming the woods,” Josh says. “It was a fantastic place to grow up.”
Josh’s father, Dawson Wheeler, owned Rock Creek Outfitters; his family was active, always outdoors, and Josh also wrestled and ran for Rock Creek’s team. His grandfather was a pediatrician, and his mother, Sugar Holliday Wheeler, is a guidance counselor who later became a pediatric oncologist. Helping others to be fit, strong, and healthy was a family endeavor. But as a student at McCallie, Josh was interested primarily in English and history and thought he’d pursue those subjects in college. Then Life Happened.
