The National American Miss Pageants are unlike any other.  All activities and competitions are kept age appropriate.  Girls under the age of 12 are not allowed to wear make-up, and there is no swimsuit competition.  The Pageant program is based on inner-beauty, as well as poise and presentation and offers an "All-American spirit of fun for family and friends."  Emphasis is put on the importance of developing self confidence, learning good sportsmanship, as well as setting and achieving personal goals.  The Pageant recognizes the accomplishments of each girl while encouraging her to set goals for her future.

Miss Kelly's activities include playing cornet/trumpet, singing, tennis, tap dance, and theatre performance. Miss Kaitlyn's activities include photography, creative writing, drawing, modeling, singing, and equestrian sports.  They also enjoy water sports on Michigan's beautiful lakes and skiing/snowboarding on the wonderful slopes Michigan has to offer.

 

Kelly and Kaitlyn are working toward building community support while they strive to raise the $480 participation fee for the National American Miss State Pageant.  This is a wonderful adventure and life-long learning experience.  They have designed note cards that they will be giving individuals for a donation of $10.  Sponsor's name or business name will be featured in the state program book, and the gift is tax deductible for businesses.  The girls will be going out and meeting/greeting potential sponsors in the weeks following so wish them well in their endevors. 

 

 Thank you for cheering them on as they represent our Grosse Pointe Community in the National American Miss Michigan State Pageant.
