Miss America Jennifer Berry tells students at Ganado to beware of alcohol, make good choices for their life
GANADO, Ariz.- She had never been to the Navajo Nation before. But that did not stop Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry from sharing the most basic and important of Navajo teachings with the 1,000 students who had come to see her: that their choices are up to them.
Miss Berry was greeted with thunderous applause as she took the stage at the Ganado Pavilion here Friday.
Her visit to the Navajo Nation was arranged by the Office of Navajo Nation First Lady Vikki Shirley, who is the Four Corners spokeswoman for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Accompanying Miss Berry was the First Lady, Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley, Jr., and Miss Navajo Nation 2006-2007 Jocelyn Billy.
