Webster Teen to Sing With Girl Authority Saturday at 4 p.m. at KidsFest at Wachusett Mountain

Sky is the Limit Girl

Gianna Sposato of Webster is one of the two grand prize winners in Bay State Parent magazine's "Sing & Dance With Girl Authority Contest."
The 13 year old (pictured) said she would want to be "The Sky is The Limit Girl" if she was the 10th member of Girl Authority (www.girlauthority.com)
As one of the two grand prize winners, she will perform with the teen pop singing group Saturday at 4 p.m. at the 17th Annual KidsFest at Wachusett Mountain in Princeton.
Her submitted essay is below.
"I believe that the sky is the limit for today's girl if she follows a few key pointers:
Work Hard: I work hard at getting a good education because I know that that is the key to opening all of the doors in your future and making your dreams come true.
Do For Others: I do volunteer work because helping helping others makes me feel good and because it is important to be grateful for the blessings in your own life by sharing your time and energy with others.
Be Responsible: I strive to be responsible, because having this quality sets the stage for success for the rest of your life.
Be Yourself: I take pride in who I am- (red hair and all) because you need to love yourself in order to be happy in life.
Have Fun: I know how to have fun, because isn't that point of it all?!
By following these few simple steps, I am creating my own destiny and for me... The Sky's the Limit!"

Make a date to attend Kidsfest Saturday and watch Gianna perform.

Monson Girl to Sing With Girl Authority Saturday at 2 p.m. at KidsFest at Wachusett Mountain

DANCER GIRL
Congrats to Bailey Medeiros, 10, of Monson. She is one of the two grand prize winners in Bay State Parent magazine's "Sing & Dance with Girl Authority Contest." Bailey will sing and dance with the pop group of nine girls Saturday at 2 p.m. at KidsFest at Wachusett Mountain in Princeton. If she could be the 10th member of Girl Authority, Bailey said she would be "Dancer Girl."
In her essay, she wrote," Though I am a lot of things, being a dancer describes me best. I dance at my studio, Dance Attack, in Monson. I am on the team so I dance hard and so much. I dance on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I study many different styles like jazz, tap, lyrical, acro, and modern. I do so many dances and I have to perform them at competitions throughout my dance year When at a competition I get judged by judges who are professional teachers, dancers and choreographers. Normally, I get awarded either a gold, high gold, or platinum, which is Awesome! Dancing is what I do best and because being on the dance team costs so much money, I have to continue to get good grades or my parents will not pay for it. I love to dance so much and I know I am right for this contest because I am a great performer and would really enjoy dancing with Girl Authority. I would remember it as I dance throughout my life. I will dance forever and when I grow up and go to college I plan to go to a dance academy to become a dance teacher and Broadway performer. I know that I will pursue my dream."

Congrats Bailey!
