Reigning Bonners Ferry Distinguished Young Woman
Brittany Spangler will take the stage at the
Becker Auditorium one final time on April 29 to
welcome a new recipient of the title. The year
past has brought many opportunities to represent
Bonners Ferry and the Distinguished Young Women
Program.
Brittany attended numerous parades in the
northwest, performed a reading at the Memorial
Day ceremony, orchestrated Be Your Best Self
Workshops with local youth, presented awards at
the annual Rod Bender’s Car Show, and spoke at
the opening ceremony of the Boundary County
Fair.
Last October, Brittany and 39 other
representatives from around the state traveled
to Idaho Falls, where they spent one week
learning routines in preparation for the state
competition. The final result was many new
friendships, great memories and character
building.
This month brings the end of a great adventure
and brings Brittany’s Distinguished Young Woman
experience full circle, as she helps prepare the
current group of participants for the upcoming
program.
"One of the most rewarding and beneficial
decisions I have made was to participate in
Distinguished Young Women," Brittany said. "I
never thought I would find myself on stage
participating in a three month journey with ten
other girls. I never really understood what I
was capable of doing and this program helped me
with that. I now have the ability to be
interviewed, talk in front of crowds, make
friends and be my best self. This program
allowed me to represent our community in
parades, various community activities and guest
speaking opportunities. Competing at the Idaho
State DYW Program opened my eyes to what all the
opportunities this program has given me and it
helped me understand that I am capable of doing
great things. DYW gave me scholarship
opportunities, 39 friends all across Idaho, 11
close friendships with the girls in my senior
class, confidence, qualities to become my better
self, community awareness, and lifelong
memories.”
Brittany is the daughter of Christopher and
Kelly Jo Spangler. She has one sister, Sierra.
After graduation, Brittany is planning to attend
University of Idaho to pursue a bachelor’s
degree in Agricultural Education and Business.
After that, she plans to attend North Idaho
College to study Welding.
Ultimately Brittany plans to pursue a career as
an agriculture educator or welding instructor.
This year’s program is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, April 29, at Bonners Ferry High
School's Becker Auditorium in Bonners Ferry.
Tickets are $12 each and are currently on sale
at Mountain Mike’s, 6486 Main Street, Bonners
Ferry. |
