Cassidy Edwards, who has family in Sunny View, will participate in the Distinguished Youth of Texas Scholarship

and Recognition Program Nov. 23-25 in San Antonio.

The Distinguished Youth Program is designed to recognize girls in grades second through seventh who rank high academically and who are leaders in their schools and communities.

The judging criteria used to select the two state titleholders includes: scholastic record, service to community and school, personality projection and interview. Finals will be Sunday afternoon, Nov. 25 and will culminate in the naming of the new Young Miss Texas and $1,000 cash scholarship and the right to serve as state program titleholder for one year.

Edwards will be sponsored for the weekend by Carroll and Cindy Edwards, Jimmy and Diane Edwards and her parents.
