Mr. SHS pageant set for Friday night

The annual Mr. SHS (Sisters High School) pageant is scheduled for Friday, March 4, at SHS auditorium at 7 p.m.

Each year SHS staff members select eight senior boys and eight senior girls to participate in the pageant. The selected are students that excel in leadership, community service, academics, the arts, sports, and/or have been active and dynamic Outlaws during their time at SHS.

The contestants and their escorts are: Seth Larson/Maggie Bidesolo; Steen Johnson/Taylor Eagan; Rob Merola/Tara Greaney; Ross Grant/Chelsey Shepard; Jadon Bachtold/Tessa O'Hern;

Rory Petterson/Michaela Miller; Tristan Kaczmarek/Kayla Neil; Sam Patton/Betsey Ausman. They have been all been busy since December preparing for Friday night.

This year's theme, "Once Upon A Time," will take the audience to a land of enchantment as the students will display their characters of Kristoff and Anna; Peter Pan and Wendy; Mary Poppins and Bert; Shrek and Fiona; Tarzan and Jane; Kylo Ren and Rey; Mr. and Mrs. Incredible; LiShang and Mulan as they tap and disco across the stage in their opening choreographed dance.

The evening will include a display of talent from each contestant, swimwear and formalwear presentation, and a series of competitive questions to be answered by the contestants.

Five judges will tally up points at the end of the evening leading to the prestigious honor of crowning one winning contestant as Mr. SHS 2016.

Refreshments will be available during intermission at minimal cost.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Sisters Family Access Network (FAN) which provides social services to local students and families. Last year FAN served over 755 clients in need of emergency rental/utility assistance, clothing/school supplies for students, Oregon Health Plan medical insurance support, and more.
