month, Rachel Foehlinger, Miss Nebraska's OT, Kelsey
Hartley, Miss Arizona's OT and Amanda Debus, Miss Delaware's
OT were included in Drum Major Magazine- The official
magazine for baton twirlers!
This
year we extended the challenge to our state titleholders to
volunteer their time for our Make-A-Difference Day Challenge
to benefit CMN. This week we would like to share with you
Shannon Folsom's efforts. Here is what she sent to us:
As part of this special day, Shannon
Folsom, Miss Maine's Outstanding Teen, visited The Barbara
Bush Children's Hospital, the Maine affiliate of the
Children's Miracle Network.
Here is what she had to say about her day:
Visiting the pediatric patients at our local
Children's Miracle Network affiliate, the Barbara Bush
Children’s Hospital, this past month was truly rewarding.
Some of the children enjoyed asking about pageants and were
delighted to have the opportunity to get a picture to bring
to their friends and family. Others simply enjoyed having
someone to talk to about their stay at the hospital and
their plans for the future, and were pleased to have someone
to do puzzles and crafts with. Of course, every child's
smile brightened at the sight of a crown. Even the babies
cooed and smiled!
The children at the CMN hospital appreciated
having someone spend a little time visiting with them and I
would encourage every Outstanding Teen to make such a
visit. Brightening a child's day will surely add a little
sunshine to your own!

Do you want
to go into the entertainment industry? Are you looking for
the right information to get started?
-
Wouldn't it
be great to learn more about how to prepare for an
interview, on-stage competition or simply how to develop
your own sense of style?
You can! Learn from
the experts!
We're presenting this information in a one-day workshop,
jam-packed with tips, facts and advice!
The day will consist of four different break-out sessions
for participants.
Sessions will
include:
• Working with the Camera: Participants will study
improvisation as a tool to integrate the different styles
and skills for acting in front of the camera for media,
television, film, and reporting.
• Preparing for the Entertainment Industry: From the
importance of first impressions and presentation to the
truth about finding an agent and auditioning, participants
will learn how to navigate a path through the confusing
world of the entertainment industry.
• Establishing your Ideal Presentation: Participants
will learn how to select and apply the right modeling,
make-up, talent, etiquette techniques and overall style to
best highlight their personal strengths. Whether on or off
the
stage, these presentation skills will last a lifetime.
• Navigate the Interview Room from all sides of the
Table: This session
will teach participants everything they need to know to take
the mystery
out of the interview process. Overall interview technique,
paperwork
completion, platform development and the Children's Miracle
Network will
all be discussed. Participants will also see an actual
judges' ballot in
order to learn the process from all sides of the interview
table!
