Madeline’s talent was a lyrical acro routine performed to “Slow Me Down” by Emmy Rossum. Madeline will be repre- senting Springfield when she will compete for the title of Miss Virginia’s Outstanding Teen in Roanoke in June. Madeline, 13, hails from Oakton, and is in the seventh grade at Rachel Carson Middle School. Madeline is an active participant in the Advance Women’s Choir and has already been accepted in the Advanced Drama Class in the fall. Madeline has always been ac- tive in her community. She has spent countless hours helping both people and animals in need. She serves as a foster par- ent for cats and kittens through Lost Dogs and Cats Rescue Foundation. Most recently, she founded “Maddie’s Blankets” a non-profit organization that makes and distributes blankets for children in foster care and transitional housing as well as for animals in adoption facilities across the state of Virginia (www.maddiesblankets.org). After completing high school, she intends to pursue her pas- sion for helping animals and others by going on to college to become a pediatric oncologist. In her spare time, Madeline loves studying dance, singing, scuba diving, horseback riding and traveling. “The Miss Greater Spring- field program has helped me to grow as young woman over the past few months and I can’t wait to represent this program and area at the Miss Virginia contest,” said Madeline.
