Miss Continental Teen

Gabrielle Christina Putzeys was named Miss Oklahoma Teen in April, 2007.  On July 7, 2007, she was named Miss Continental Teen at the National Competition held in Nashville, Tennessee.  Gabrielle is an eighth grader at Tupelo School in Tupelo, Oklahoma.  She is the daughter of Todd and Dawn Woods of Coalgate, Oklahoma and has one younger sibling, Alexander Woods. 

Gabrielle is the student body President of her class and is currently involved in cheerleading, basketball and fast and slow pitch softball in her school's champion athletic department.  Go Tigers! Gabrielle’s community activities include volunteering at her local library where she reads to young children, in hopes of encouraging them to foster a love for the joy of books!  She also volunteers at a local nursing home, spending time with the elderly where she has gained and learned lessons more valuable and precious than she could have ever hoped to receive! She has actively participated in several disaster recovery efforts in the past few years, including Hurricanes Charley, Rita, Jeanne, Francis and Isabel.  From preparing meals to passing out fresh water, Gabrielle has spent countless hours attempting to help victims regain some sense of stability within a chaotic

situation.  She has also worked for several years on her community Angel Tree during the holidays to help provide gifts and food to local children.  Most recently she hosted a coloring book drive for Pageant Talk International Radio in attempts to collects items for donation.

Gabrielle's hobbies and interests include riding her horses with friends and family, singing and listening to music of all types, reading, attending her school's sporting events, traveling, and of course, spending quality time with loved ones.

Her future plans include obtaining her pilot's license at the age of sixteen.  She dreams of serving in the armed forces while utilizing and furthering her piloting skills in hopes of eventually becoming a commercial pilot and doing what she loves for the rest of her life!

Gabrielle's platform issue is to promote the lifestyle of Random Acts of Kindness in people of all ages and economic situations.  She has been inspired by acts that she has personally witnessed in her own life and by the anonymous, sole founder of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation who is single handedly attempting to encourage others in a worldwide movement!  This non-profit organization is unique in the aspect that it does not accept donations of any kind nor does it seek out grants and best of all, it doesn't usually cost anything to participate!  She is also dually convinced that the concept of "Paying It Forward" has astonishing results and that your one Random Act of Kindness could ultimately affect and innumerable amount of people over time.  Gabrielle's program will hopefully inspire others to take the time to do kind things for others when an opportunity presents itself!   

Gabrielle is currently working with J. McLellan of the McSwain Theatre on vocal training.  She is studying competitive cheer and tumbling techniques with Karrie Flanagan of Ada Champion Tumbling and Cheer.  Previously Gabrielle studied tap and jazz at Dari Pennino Dance Academy.
