Caitlin Kimminau is a junior at Adrian High School and an FCCLA member. This summer Caitlin delivered food to workers in Joplin, where an F5 tornado destroyed many homes and businesses, including Emerson Elementary School. She also volunteered her time in Joplin, along with FCCLA Advisor Julie Carr.  Caitlin said, “By seeing the destruction in Joplin, I realized I could help give back. I know how much a teacher’s classroom means to him/her, so I decided to raise money for Emerson Elementary as my FCCLA service project.”

In October 2011 Makenzi Adams, 20 year old from Adrian, was crowned the 2012 Miss Missouri Collegiate queen. Miss Collegiate is a pageant system for college girls ages 18-28 years of age, from any college, trade, or grad school in the state.

Makenzi has competed in pageants since the age of 14 and while she has won many sub-titles and placed in top 5 queens court, this is her first title as queen. She will now go on to compete in the National Pageant with 49 other state contestants in San Antonio, Texas in March. She is extremely proud and honored to represent Missouri.
