Overview
The Miss Parsons Princess Mentoring Program is designed to benefit young ladies 5 to 12 years
of age. This allows these young women to benefit from and be involved with the Miss Parsons
Organization/Miss America Organization.
Each young lady will participate in mini-workshops taught by experienced professionals. Each
session is a positive, fun experience for each Princess. This is not a competition. The
workshops will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2015, from 2:00 am – 4:00 pm at the Decatur
County Middle School (2740 Hwy 641 S, Parsons, TN).
Each young lady will be crowned a Miss Parsons Princess during a Coronation Ceremony at the
Decatur County Middle School during the 2015 Miss Parsons – Miss Decatur County Pageant on
December 5, 2015 beginning at 7:00 pm. Also at this event, the Princess Class will participate in
a group production number and then be individually introduced and featured during the
Evening Gown portion of the pageant.
What does my child wear for the workshops and Coronation event?
Workshops: Casual, cute & comfortable. Keep in mind that a professional photographer will be
taking individual photos during the Photography session.
Group Production Number: Blue jeans and t-shirt. We will provide the t-shirt at workshop.
Coronation Dress & Evening Gown Competition: A simple white or ivory dress is needed for
the Coronation and Evening Gown Competition. Any style white dress that you currently have
will work.
What happens at the Coronation Event and the Pageant?
We want each Princess to have the on-stage experience of a big pageant production without
the competition. The Princess Class will be involved in several phases of the Miss Parsons
Pageant.

Group Production Number (simple dance number)
Coronation Introduction (each princess will be introduced and will walk on stage as
information is read about her)
Coronation (each princess will be crowned by Miss Tennessee on stage)
Evening Gown Competition (Princess will be paired with a Teen/Miss contestant and will
walk out with the contestant during the competition to present a flower)
Where do I get tickets to the Coronation Event and Pageant?
Tickets are $10 and are available at the Decatur County Middle School one hour before the
show. Each princess and one guest will be admitted at no charge.
Who will serve as the Staff and Chaperones? Can I attend the workshops?
Experienced professionals will lead each of the workshop sessions. Ladies from the Miss
Parsons Scholarship Organization will serve as chaperones and hostesses for the Princess Class.
Moms or Dads are welcome to attend each workshop. Special areas will be provided for the
parents to observe.
Where will they dress?
We ask that you bring your Princess already dressed in her Group Production number outfit and
as close to ready as possible. There will be a private backstage room provided for the Princess
Class to change & touch up hair and makeup. Moms are welcome to assist their Princesses
backstage.
Who benefits from the funds raised?
All proceeds benefit the Miss Parsons Scholarship Organization, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit
group that provides scholarships to contestants. 100% of the proceeds benefit the scholarship
fund.

What will be covered in the etiquette session? Who will facilitate this?
Topics to be included in this session will include Party Etiquette, Greetings and Introductions,
Proper Seating, Dining Etiquette as well as other skills for today’s society.
The confidence gained through the lessons taught will assist with better communications, instill
leadership, and build self-esteem now and later in life. Excellent manners and being able to
confidently present has become a necessity in our society. Proper manners will allow our
Princesses to differentiate themselves from others in school and in social settings.
