Jenna Adams is the newly crowned Miss Martinsville-Henry County.
A Miss Virginia preliminary pageant was held at the Spencer-Penn Center on February 24. It was the first on-stage Miss Martinsville-Henry County pageant in eight years.
“I am a local business owner and a proud 2023 graduate of Longwood University with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education,” Adams said. “I own and operate Little Angels Early Learning Center in Bassett.”
Her Community Service Initiative is called “Tiny Tummies,” and was started due to food insecurity among children in my own Learning Center, Adams said, and added that she is meeting with legislators to propose a new way to feed daycare children all across Virginia via a system that will allow for meals to be prepared within the public school system, but delivered to licensed childcare providers. This program already exists during the summer, for school-aged children.
“I am proud to represent our area and I am ready to serve my community,” Adams said, and added that she will compete in Roanoke on June 29 for the Miss Virginia title.
