Miss Christina Marie Morcus, 10, daughter or Eric and Tina Morcus of La Quinta, has earned the title of Miss Coachella Valley Jr. Pre-Teen 2014 and the opportunity to attend Nationals through her successfully scored events: Interview, Formal Wear, Personal Introduction, Top Model and Photogenic.
The National Pageant will be held in Anaheim, California at Disneyland during Thanksgiving week. Morcus will be representing the beautiful Coachella Valley and the great state of California as she competes for the National All-American Miss Title. Morcus is a Straight A student in the 5th grade at Sacred Heart School in Palm Desert. She’s an active Girl Scout in Troop #1649, and has been dancing for 7 years with Dance Dimensions Studios. Morcus has volunteered her time at several local charities, in addition to Up for Downs in Murrieta, the DSA/IE Buddy Walk in Menifee and the CHOC Walk at DIsneyland.
The National American Miss Pageants are for “Today’s Girl” and “Tomorrow’s Leaders.” The scholarship program is based on inner beauty, as well as poise, presentation, and offers an “All American Spirit” of fun for family and friends. Emphasis is placed on the importance of gaining self-confidence, learning new skills, learning good attitudes about competition, and setting and achieving personal goals. The program seeks to recognize the accomplishments of each girl while encouraging her to set goals for the future!
