Christine Williamson, who was crowned Miss Tennessee in the Carl Perkins Jr. Civic Center of Jackson on June 23, 2018, recently visited Smith County schools.
“It was an honor to host her in our school system and community. In addition to visiting schools during her stay, she ate at local restaurants and visited a local boutique,” said Melinda Spivey, Supervisor of Instruction and CTE Director at the Smith County Board of Education.
This year, Christine will travel more than 80,000 miles across the state visiting school children. She is honored to serve the state of Tennessee as the Governor’s Character Education Spokesperson and to speak to more than 50,000 children in Tennessee Schools about the character trait of respect.
She will also be continuing to promote her Platform of Alzheimer’s Awareness throughout our state continuing her work with the Alzheimer’s Association but also by partnering with the Tennessee Respite Coalition as an honorary board member, and the Governor’s Commission on Aging and Disability.
During her year of service, she will travel the state as Tennessee’s State Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, to continue fundraising, volunteering, and raising awareness for Tennessee’s Five Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
She also serves as the Honorary Board Chair for Volunteer Tennessee & as an Honorary Board Member of the Tennessee Respite Coalition.
She has published her first ever children’s book, Memories Matter. This book describes a little purple elephant named “Ellie” whose grandpa is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She created this book as a tool to explain Alzheimer’s disease to young children and provided talking points in the back of the book for further discussion for educators, counselors, and parents. It is available on Amazon as an eBook and print book!
