Joining #TeamJoCo

Hi friends! I have a very exciting announcement...

I am now officially a part of #TeamJoCo! This means I am on a team with other Miss contestants and under the guidance of a Local Director. Even though Johnson County is a few hours away, Amy Carlson was kind enough to add me to her team along with three other Miss contestants. Take a moment to meet my big sisters!

Miss Johnson County Kendall Schoenekase

Miss Metro KC Makayla Weiser

Miss Heart of Kansas Matti Diener

They're all beautiful, talented, encouraging, and have graciously welcomed me on the team!

Our director, Amy, has already helped me in ways I couldn't even imagine. Thank you for all of the time and effort you have poured into helping me become a more well-rounded contestant and individual :)

I'm looking forward to spending more time with them in preparation for Miss Kansas/MKSOT week and being a proud member of #TeamJoCo! Follow and support all of us by liking the Miss Johnson County Scholarship Pageant on Facebook here.

With love,
Paige

IHOP National Pancake Day

Today was National Pancake Day at IHOPs across the country!!! Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has had a partnership with IHOP and raised millions of dollars on National Pancake Day since 2006. Guests who attended between 7 am - 7 pm received a free stack of pancakes in return for a donation to CMNH. 

I volunteered at my local IHOP in Wichita and visited with customers about CMNH and the Miss America Organization, as well as how their donations will be used to benefit local children. It was my very first appearance as Miss Harvey County's Outstanding Teen and so much fun! I'm thankful to be a part of an organization that has allowed me to meet so many people, gain confidence, and share my passion for my platform. 

This year, IHOP raised $3.9 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals!!!!!! Thank you to everyone who attended and supported Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

With love,

Paige

Presenting to the Hesston Lions Club

Tonight, I had the opportunity to speak to the Hesston Lions Club and share about my mission to end sex trafficking and the Miss Kansas' Outstanding Teen Organization. Our Lions Club is very involved in my community. They volunteer their time to pick up trash along local highways and host an annual pancake feed that raises hundreds of dollars each year.

The Lions were kind enough to host me for dinner and give me a HLC pen. I will be helping them pick up trash later in April!!!

Find your local Lions Club here to find out how you can get involved! :)

With love,
