| Mooresboro Teenager Wins Pageant Title |

 Jordan Adcox
Fifteen-year-old Jordan Elizabeth Adcox won the Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen title in August and will spend the next year making public appearances and participating in community service activities. She advances to the state competition planned for June 17-21, 2014 at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.
The Outstanding Teen pageant is for girls (ages 13-17 years) and affiliated with the Miss America program. It focuses on scholastic achievement, the performing arts, healthy living, public speaking, and community involvement. Girls from a 10-county region that includes Rutherford and Cleveland counties are eligible to enter the Gastonia pageant.
Adcox is the daughter of Jeanie Adcox and a sophomore at Chase High School. She would like to attend college and major in political science and dance. For the pageant’s talent competition, she presented a lyrical dance to the song, “Adonai.”
Ava Elizabeth Garland, the five-year-old daughter of Ritchie and Ashley Garland of Mooresboro, served as Adcox’s little princess for the pageant.
The community service project that Adcox will promote is titled “Jordan’s Relay Rainbows.” She creates and sells rainbow-colored pins to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program. Adcox developed her community service project in memory of her dance teacher, who died of colon cancer. Her goal this year is to be an advocate for Relay for Life and raise money for the cause.
“I am excited about my year as Miss Gastonia’s Outstanding Teen and I want to be more involved in my community,” said Adcox. “I am looking forward to making appearances at local events, participating in the Christmas parades, and working on my community service project that promotes Relay for Life.”
An honor roll student, Adcox is a member of the Beta Club, student council, yearbook staff and cheerleading squad. She has won numerous awards for dance and was featured on the first season of “Little Miss Perfect,” a television show that documented the life of girls involved in pageants.
