Preparation for the Distinguished Young Women of Malad Program is underway! The participants are working diligently to learn their routines and freshen up their interview skills with mock interviews to be ready for the big day.  Distinguished Young Women is a unique program that combines the chance to win college scholarships with a program that offers Life Skills training to prepare young women for the world after high school. The program will be held on May 6th, 2023 at 7:00pm in the Malad Elementary School Auditorium. The class of 2024 participants include: Rylee Hammer daughter of Storm & Tom Hammer, Sadie Jensen daughter of Chris Jensen & Nicole Green, Charli Briscoe daughter of Angie and James Briscoe, Alexus Tarbet granddaughter of Frank and Donna Gayle Madsen, Brookelyn Daniels daughter of Tera and Johnathan Daniels, Sarah Beyler daughter of CarieSue and Martin Beyler, Karlee Palmer daughter of Brooke and Drue Palmer, and Brynlee Bastian daughter of Beth and Clint Bastian. 

The theme this year is "Capable." The DYW committee wants the participants to know they are capable of anything they desire to achieve. Performance Music, Life Skill Workshops, and Self-Expression Questions have been chosen with this theme in mind to let the participants share their confidence and capability with the judges. Distinguished Young Women of Malad, Raegan Smith, has played an integral part in planning and supporting the participants this year. We are grateful for the way she has represented Malad over the past year.
