Bean Days is right around the corner and we needed a queen to lead us into that weekend. This past Saturday, September 15, one girl from the school was crowned.

There were seven candidates this year. They were Sophomores Jayden Bailey and Mickenzie Smith and Juniors Jayla Pendleton, Libby Williams, Leah Marvel, Alivia Dillman, and Reneki Embry. Each girl was recognized for her own beauty and individuality. Alivia Dillman won Prettiest Eyes, Jayden Bailey won Best Interview, Jayla Pendleton won Prettiest Smile, Leah Marvel won Prettiest Hair, Libby Williams won Best Personality, Reneki Embry won Prettiest Dress, and Mickenzie Smith won Miss Congeniality.

Now, for the moment everyone has been waiting for: Who won? Jayden Bailey won Second Runner Up. Libby Williams received First Runner Up. Finally, your 2018 Miss Bean Queen is…

Reneki Embry!

The Journalism Staff would like to send a big congratulations to all of the candidates this year for their boldness and beauty!
