Miss Naugatuck Valley 2010 Kirsten Yerger

I am a 17 year old senior and honor student at the Chase Collegiate School. I am varsity soccer captain, an avid dancer and singer, president of my class,  a participant in the Highlander Theatre company, a white belt in karate, and I contribute much of my time to various community oriented service projects. I am passionate about my issue of concern, drug and alcohol awareness, and dedicate my time with the D.A.R.E program in Watertown, Naugatuck and surrounding communities, and I am a member of W.O.A.H (Watertown-Oakville Adolescent Heroes). 

I strongly believe in promoting positive choices and self confidence through my own experiences living a healthy and productive life. I have been involved in the Miss America Organization for many years and am so excited to have my first “Miss” title and to compete in Miss Connecticut in June. I would like to thank all of my friends and family, The Miss Naugatuck Valley Scholarship Committee, and sponsors of the Miss Naugatuck Valley Scholarship Organization. I am so excited for my year and to be  Miss Naugatuck Valley 2010!!
