Blasting back into the season of Leadership




After a breif hiatus the Flex blasted back into activity this week with a very packed show that saw the newly crowned Miss Teen Cayman Islands 2009-10 Jamesette Anglin, CARICOM Youth Ambassador for the Cayman Islands Carla Martin and Clayton Powell of Youth For Christ. Miss Teen arrived to the show right after school and was not decked with her crown and sash so the Flex Crew respectfully did not photograph her. But don't worry she will be a guest again soon where she will be dressed as the princess that she is for you to view here on this blogspot.
