Winter Workshop

As the pageant is approaching, there are more and more opportunities for us teens to meet up and get to know each other. That was the purpose of our winter workshop today! In addition to learning more about each other and sharing excitement about our platforms, we also spent time discussing the MKSOT schedule and wardrobe for the pageant. I knew some of the girls from last year, but it was great to make new friends and meet new faces as well. I'm so excited to meet the rest of the Miss Kansas' Outstanding Teen Class of 2016! Read more about these ladies here :)

A special thank you to our State Director Melissa for putting this together!

With love,

Serving at the Harvey County Homeless Shelter

Our National Honors Society chapter volunteered at the Harvey County Homeless Shelter on Saturday, January 23. We prepared a barbecue meal for the residents and each brought a dish to serve. There was pulled pork, mac 'n cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, cantaloupe, and brownies. Many of us had volunteered there in the past with our churches, but it's different every time and really neat to experience with your peers. Once all of the residents were served, we fixed ourselves a plate and sat amongst the residents, chatting and listening to their stories. The most rewarding part was getting to see how appreciative the full-time volunteers and residents were for our willingness to be there. I will definitely make it a priority to return again!

What are you doing today to serve others? :)

With love,

Paige
