Today, I shared the joy of reading with students at Cottondale Elementary, celebrating Dr. Seuss’s legacy with a “Read Around the World” adventure. I had an incredible time with my girls, and I sure do love our Little Hornets! 💙🧡

It’s hard to believe that in just 1 short week, I bid farewell as your 2025 Miss Cottondale, passing down my crown and title to your 2026 queen. I plan to soak up every last bit of time in this crown with my favorite crew! 💖

Happy Thanksgiving from your Miss Cottondale 2025! 🧡🦃

This year, I cannot help but be thankful for my friends and family, the blessings I have received throughout this year, and for the opportunity to be your Miss Cottondale, 2025. This experience has truly been everything I have hoped for and more. I’m so excited to finish out this bittersweet reign with my favorite queens!

The food pantry in Cottondale, FL was fully stocked with Thanksgiving bags made by myself, and Miss Cottondale 2024, Evangelina Reyes. We hope these bags bring those comfort who find it difficult to afford a good meal for the holiday. The bags come 3 to one full bag!

🌟: Thanksgiving meals are rooted in the hard work of farmers—both past and present. The holiday itself grew from early harvest celebrations, when successful crops meant survival for the year ahead. From the grains and vegetables shared at the first Thanksgiving to the turkey, potatoes, squash, and pumpkin pies we enjoy today, nearly every dish traces back to the people who cultivate the land. Modern farmers carry on that legacy, rising early, working long seasons, and providing the ingredients that bring families together. In many ways, Thanksgiving is not just a celebration of abundance, but a quiet tribute to the hands that grow it. 🌟

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 🧡

“See a need, FEED the need.” 🌽🫛🥫

Miss Cottondale 2024 & Miss Cottondale 2025 TEAMED up today to stock the “Food for Friends” food pantry founded by Miss Cottondale 2024, Evangelina Reyes, during her year of service. This food pantry is set to feed the needs of people in our town, and I’m glad that Evangelina and I were able to come together and do something for the community!

Shelf-stable foods like canned corn, green beans, chips, and other packaged goods play a vital role in connecting agriculture to everyday life. These products come directly from farm-grown crops that are harvested, processed, and preserved to last months or even years, ensuring food availability beyond the growing season. By turning fresh produce into long-lasting goods, farmers and processors reduce food waste, add value to raw crops, and support rural economies through food manufacturing jobs.

Now that the Peanut craziness has come down, Im excited to get back out in MY community and make an impact! 💛

To me, THIS is what’s pageantry is all about.

Sisterhood, it’s a beautiful thing. That is EXACTLY what the MNPF opportunity has given me. A chance to build lifelong connections, relationships, and most of all, foster sisterhood amongst young women.

I’m so incredibly thankful for this opportunity to not only represent Cottondale, FL, but to meet my bestfriends. I will forever cherish this experience for the rest of my life.

Thank you Jesus, that’s all I can say. Thank you.
