NEWSOME FFA SWEETHEART
12 GIRLS, ONE CROWN
n Saturday, Feb. 25, 12 Newsome FFA girls participated in the Sweetheart Scholarship Pageant. They competed in three categories, casual dress, public speaking, and evening gown. For their impromptu question the girls were asked how they would convince a school board member to keep agricultural classes in school. Then the girls came back to the stage in their official FFA attire to give a one to two minute speech on How FFA benefits today’s youth. After that, the girls stepped onto the stage for one last time, this time in formal evening gowns and escorted by an FFA member. Though all the contestants were both talented and
O
beautiful the judges made their decision. Melissa Stone was crowned Newsome’s Sweetheart this year. She will receive a $500 dollar scholarship. The 1st Runner up was Shelby St. Amant and she will receive $75. The 2nd Runner up was Lindsey White and she will receive $25. Each of the girls walked away with prizes and recognition. Melissa and her court will serve as ambassadors for Newsome FFA.
