Future Miss BHS

Claire in prep phase...the American Girl doll (named Kayle!) had to share in her grief!


Claire shows off her dress and Claire with contestant Kayle!

As mentioned earlier, Claire was chosen by her student dance teacher to participate with her in the Miss Bentonville High School pageant. Claire was a Future Miss and her job was a serious one. She had to come out and hand Kayle a flower, curtsy and blow a kiss before the "bigs" did their evening gown walk. It is an honor to be chosen, and Claire was chosen by one of her favorite girls. Claire did a wonderful job, smiling and looking cute the whole time. Kayle was in the top 5 girls of the night, but sadly did not win (Claire and I think she got slighted!!!). Anyway, it was a wonderful experience for Claire and taught her about being a gracious contestant and a lesson about not always getting what you want! She is anxiously awaiting next year; she has already called dibs on our best girl and neighbor, Sara, to be her Future Miss as well!
