I serve as the WA State director for the Miss WA High School America pageant. We have finally set the date for the 2010-2011 pageant, and it will be held on October 15th and 16th in Tacoma. The applications will be up on http://www.misswashingtonhighschoolamerica.com soon, so be on the lookout if you want to participate in the pageant. In the meantime, here is a note from Miss WA High School America 2009-2010, Delaney Ferrell.
The National High School America Pageant is about two months away, and I’m starting to get really excited! I got my dress on Dec. 30th from the best dress shop ever, The Wedding Bell in Tacoma. I was sponsored for a dress by the Washington director, Kimberly. The salespeople were so sweet, and I had a lot of fun playing dress up and looking through The Cool Book. The dress I chose is absolutely stunning, and my mom likes it, too! I have also been working really hard on my paperwork for the pageant as well as the video introduction. My friend and I did a photo shoot at my school (Fife High School). We had a great time exploring the school and taking tons of beautiful pictures. For Christmas, I got a plane ticket to Branson, MO! I’m really excited, because this is only the second time I have been further east than Nevada, and we’re making a stop along the way at my friend’s house! I organized and ran a food drive at Auburn Gymnastics Center to benefit the Auburn Food Bank, and the turnout was fantastic! I’m so proud of AGC for donating so much nonperishable food. I have officially started breaking in all my competition shoes. It’s a little painful, but I know it will be worth it in March. I am friends with a lot of the other state titleholders for Miss High School America, and I’m having a lot of fun getting to know them. I can’t wait to meet everyone in person at nationals, and I wish every girl the best of luck!
Sincerely,
Delaney Anne Ferrell
