Last night Leah Ciccone was named Miss Greater Waterbury's Outstanding Teen 2013 at the scholarship pageant held at Rotella Magnet School in Waterbury. Ms. Ciccone lives in Wolcott and attends Wolcott High School. During the pageant, she took first place in the talent competition.
I met Ms. Ciccone during auditions for 'How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying)' at Seven Angels. She is a lovely young lady, inside and out, and I am so pleased to see that she took home this title.
Ashley Membrino was named Miss Greater Waterbury. Ms. Membrino performed a tap dance for the talent competition and her platform issue was HIV/AIDS.
