2023 Mr & Miss CedarBridge Pageant To Be Held
[Written by Althea Emery]
On Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 7pm nine young men and women [Logan Farrell, Dekada Gilbert, Elmico Hayward-DeShields, Michael Ray, Skye Charles, Shenice Maylor, Eliana Pinardi, Rihanna Reddicks, and Keishay Smith] will be vying for the coveted title of Mr. and Miss CedarBridge Academy.
The Mr. and Miss CedarBridge Academy Pageant was started in 1999 by CBA teacher, Mr. Dean Foggo. Mr. Foggo stated that the idea of introducing the pageant to CBA was birthed while assisting his mentor teacher with a school pageant for females only. However, he highlighted that he thought both male and female students should be given the opportunity to develop and showcase the much needed skills that participants gain from being a part of this pageant.
Over the last 25 years, S4 students have adopted this pageant as a major fundraising activity. This year, the Class of 2024 intends to take this show to another level with the theme, “Unapologetically You”.
This theme was chosen to allow the contestants to embrace their authentic self, being confident in their identity, and not seeking validation or approval from others. Show organizers Mr. Dean Foggo and S4 Year Head, Ms. Althea Emery are certainly looking forward to making this year a most memorable one.
Please come out and support the show! Tickets can be purchased from contestants, or the school’s main office. For further information please contact Ms. Althea Emery at aremery@cedarbridge.doe.bm.
