Yesterday we had a guest speaker join us! It was Miss Chattanooga herself, Jaclyn Torrento. She was everything we had hoped for and more! A senior at Belmont University and a Robertson County native, believe it or not, she competed in the Miss Chattanooga pageant to win the title that will allow her to compete in the Miss Tennessee pageant this summer.
We didn't talk wardrobe and makeup while she was here. It was community service that was the discussion and activity! Her self-developed platform is "Hands to Larger Service" and as she walked our students through exactly what that meant, she helped them brainstorm ways to serve right here in Portland! At the conclusion, our students were motivated to serve in our community and beyond and were loaded with community service project ideas!
Miss Chattanooga wasn't satisfied with just talking service. Before she left, students made cards to be delivered to a nursing home. Above you see Miss Torrento and the students that were remaining at the end of our day with some of their cards. What a treat it was to have her come and speak!
