Congratulations to Lauren Sage Browning, Miss Jr. Teen KS-World, Kaiti Hemann, Miss Teen KS-World, and Sloane Lewis, Miss KS US International. These gals were crowned the 2009 state titleholders at the inaugural pageant held at the Mary Jane Teall Theater in Wichita, KS on May 2nd. Kaiti and Sloane will go on to represent KS in the Miss Teen United States-World and the Miss US International pageant in Houston this July! 

As the directors, LaDawna and I are so very proud of all our girls! We had 27 participants and were so very impressed with each girl's performance! The girls participated in First Friday and helped raise awareness for equal access to arts education in the classroom by gathering signatures on the MENC music education petition.
