A note to Missouri Jr. Teen 2011 contestants from Miss Missouri Jr. Teen 2010, Courtney Landes


Hey Girls!

Courtney Landes here, your reigning 2010-2011 Miss
Missouri Junior Teen, and I’m so excited to welcome you to this year’s
pageant! I hope you’re all ready for an amazing weekend full of
excitement, fun, and memories that will last a lifetime.

I am so
incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to represent the state of
Missouri this past year. If I had to describe it in just one word –
amazing! It was also very busy. I participated in the Susan G. Komen
Race for the Cure, helped at National American Miss workshops and
orientations, volunteered for St. Anthony’s hospital, and performed
community service with my favorite charities like the Ronald McDonald
House and Midtown Catholic Charities. The title of Miss Missouri Jr.
Teen has provided so many opportunities for me over the past year, and
going to the national pageant in Hollywood, California was unsurpassed.
Nationals was absolutely the most memorable part of my year and making
the top 10 was just icing on the cake!

Of course, without
some very special people, none of this would have been possible. My
thanks to Ken and Lani Maples, the NAM staff, my family, friends, and
sister queens; you guys are truly what have made this year so
unforgettable. I love you, “NAM-ily”!!! And to my successor: never take a
single second for granted – your year will fly by! I wish you all the
best of luck this weekend, and remember: “Shoot for the moon because
even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

Love, Luck and Happiness,
Courtney Landes
2010-2011 Miss Missouri Junior Teen
