MEET OUR 2018 MISS MERRY CHRISTMAS

Each year a young lady is selected from the senior class of each high school in the county to be the Miss Merry Christmas Representative. This year's Elkmont Miss Merry Christmas is the lovely Stephanie Leigh Bates.


Our Miss Merry Christmas makes her first appearance in the Athens Christmas Parade tomorrow night, December 6 @ 6 pm. She will of course be in the Elkmont Christmas Parade, December 8 @ 1 pm. Be sure to wave when she passes by.


Stephanie is the daughter of Steve and Beth Bates.  Her grandparents are Wade Bates & late Ann Bates (such a dear lady), and Butch Allfrey. She is President of the Senior Beta Club, and the Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society. She also serves as the Vice-President of the 2019 Senior Class. Her other accomplishments include being a member of the Limestone County Gifted Program and a member of Cool to Be Kind organization.


Stephanie was also chosen as the 2018 Girls State Representative for Elkmont High School.  Off campus, she is President of Athens-Limestone Junior Civitan Club. She takes an active part in many church activities at Elkmont Church of Christ youth group.  Stephanie truly embodies the Christmas Spirit through her numerous service projects such as the Christmas Angel Tree, LCCI Canned Food Drive and as a volunteer with Athens Animal Shelter. Her future plans are to attend the University of North Alabama to pursue a degree in accounting.
