Dear Contestants,

Welcome to a fun-filled weekend of meeting and making new friends.  There is excitement in each and every moment.  You will learn poise and self-confidence and discover just how special you really are.  I wish I could crown each of you because you are all winners.

For the fortunate one that takes home the crown, you are in for an exciting year.  You will attend other pageants as visiting royalty and the trip to Nationals is unbelievable.  You will enjoy a day at Disneyland and tour the streets of Hollywood with all of the wonderful shops.  You may even run into a celebrity at the Walk of Fame.

It has been an honor to represent the great state of South Carolina this past year.  I want to thank our State Director, Matt Leverton, and his staff for the inspiring job they do.  Most of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity I was given.  I cannot put into words how special this has been to me and my family.

It is hard to believe my year, as Miss South Carolina Junior Teen, is coming to an end.  It seems like only yesterday I was crowned and began my journey filled with memories and life-long friendships. As I crown my successor, I wish you all the success and excitement you could possibly imagine.  Cherish these memories for they will last a lifetime.

 

Good luck and God Bless,

Reagan Foster

The turn of the 21st century has brought about major change within our families and lifestyles. More than ever, we now see extreme poverty, latchkey kids, excessive divorce rates, and new family patterns. All of these hardships our teens are coping with are being placed right in the laps of our schools and their facilities. These drastic changes in the American family are tremendously affecting today’s youth and the education they are receiving. The Boys and Girls Club of America provide stability in the lives of teens across America. Every school day from three to six teens can get tutoring; play sports, learn a new skill and participate in many more activities. Reagan became involved with the Boys and Girls club of America and fell in love with the kids, and she  realized that there was something real she could do as a sixteen year old that would make a difference in the lives of her peers.    Reagan currently teaches a weekly dance class at her local Boys and Girls Club of America, which gives her the opportunity to share  her love for dance with many enthusiastic teens that have real hopes and aspirations.   Reagan is playing  a vital roll in helping young people overcome these obstacles by calling on her local leaders to help support and become involved with The Boys and Girls Club. She is also visiting local schools and speaking to her peers about the importance of helping those who can’t help themselves. Reagan is teaching teens it’s not about talking, but about “doing” that will make a real difference in her generation.
