Excitement buzzed through the halls of Hardyston Elementary School earlier this month as students awaited the arrival of a special guest reader: Miss Hardyston Kayla Van Ginneken.
The senior at Wallkill Valley Regional High School visited the elementary school to share her love of reading May 14 and 15.
Students asked her about her time in high school and her responsibilities as Miss Hardyston.
Van Ginneken, 18, will attend Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., in the fall to study nursing.
The 2024 Miss Hardyston will be chosen in a pageant at 7 p.m. Friday, June 7 at the municipal building. Also to be selected are Teen Miss Hardyston, Jr. Miss Hardyston, Little Miss Hardyston and Little Mister Hardyston.
