A Very Special Announcement

Miss PreTeen Pennsylvania International Announces Partnership with National Nonprofit Beyond Differences
Works To Address Social Isolation In Schools

[Pittsburgh, PA, March 2018]
McKenna Ross, the newly crowned Miss PreTeen Pennsylvania International 2018 has been placed on the list of Outreach Partners for National Call It Out Day. Created by Beyond Differences, a national nonprofit organization based in San Rafael, Calif., Call It Out is a positive prevention initiative for school-age children, teachers, and families. Focused on creating inclusive communities online, particularly learning to respond to digital gossip to reduce social isolation, National Call It Out Day is April 27, 2018. As Miss PreTeen Pennsylvania International 2018, McKenna works to support her platform of “Beyond Our Differences – We All Belong”. At only 10 years old, she has worked tirelessly to bring about awareness of the adverse effects of social isolation on children her age. Call It Out includes use of a school curriculum and an in-school event designed to nurture healthy relationships online. The program supports students as they learn to be authentic and compassionate, challenging themselves to make sure their online behaviors match their real-life personalities. Other programs McKenna will be utilizing during her reign include “Know Your Classmates” a program designed to explore youth’s identity and desire to belong, and “No One Eats Alone” a program of inclusion during school lunch. McKenna will be presenting her platform while she competes this coming July for the title of Miss PreTeen International in Charleston, WV.
