Ariana Foster competed in her first pageant last month as
a 13-year-old. She is an eighth grader at Windham Middle School.
Ariana took home
the crown for USA Ambassador Miss Holly Jolly Jr teen at the USA Ambassador
Pageant, along with best personality and best smile. This win won her a spot in
the USA Ambassador State Pageant held on December 6. Where she won once
again and was crowned USA Ambassador's Miss Maine Jr. Teen 2016, she also won
most photogenic and a spot in the National competition being held in Tampa,
Florida, in July of 2016.
Ariana has been
dancing recreationally and competitively since she was four and wanted to take
a break from that and try something new. She hopes to one day teach disabled
children to dance, so I am sure she will be right back at it when the time is
right,” said her mom, Eleanor Foster, but for now she is busy with school,
drawing, painting, teaching herself sign language and now pageants.
Ariana will be
representing the State of Maine for the next year and is required to perform
community service work and/or make appearances at least twice a month. This
month she will be visiting a local daycare during their holiday
party and performing a reading and assisting the children with a
craft, then gathering and donating the food she collects from her friends and
family to the Windham Food Pantry, which is already a family tradition.
