Lennox Baker, 9, and Peighton Smith, 6, are currently serving as Miss Freeport queens and will represent Florida at the USA National Miss Nationals in Atlanta this July.
Lennox, who holds the title of Miss Sunshine State, will compete in the Princess division. She is homeschooled, loves dance and volunteers at church. When she grows up, she hopes to become a fashion designer and Miss Universe. Through her platform, “Love Lennox,” she spreads kindness in creative ways. Each week, she chooses one act from her Kindness Jar and shares her journey online to encourage others to do the same.
Peighton, Miss Sunshine State Junior Princess, is a kindergartener at Freeport Elementary School and will compete in the Junior Princess division. Through her platform, “Peighton’s Purpose,” she is on a mission to create a chain reaction of kindness by donating to charities, volunteering in the community and giving out kindness kits. She loves basketball, is excited to try cheerleading and is known for her bright personality.
Together, the girls have formed a special local “sister queen” friendship as they prepare for the national stage. USA National Miss is one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious pageant systems, focused on empowering young women through confidence, leadership, scholarship opportunities, mentorship, community service and positive personal growth.
The girls said they feel honored to represent Freeport on the national stage and are excited for the opportunity.
