The Junior Princess Court is a tradition that we celebrate with Merrill Elementary School. Girls aged 5 – 6 are selected to represent the school.

This year’s JR Princess Court: Miss Wrenleigh Irland and Miss Chole Staub

Miss Wrenleigh R. Ireland is the daughter of Blake and Kylee Ireland of Merrill. She has two siblings, Dawson and Emberly. She attends Merrill Elementary and is in kindergarten. She loves to play basketball and baseball. At age 4, she taught herself to ride a bike without her training wheels! She loves her dog Finley, her kittens, cows, and chickens! Her favorite food is spaghetti, and she loves going to Reno or Disneyland. Her favorite colors are pink, purple, and glitter, and her favorite music is Zach Bryan. Her hobbies include caring for our animals, riding horses, catching ladybugs and butterflies, riding her snowmobile, and playing outside with her brother and sister in her playhouse. She has fun baking with my Mom, working with my Dad on the farm, and playing in their shop. Wrenleigh’s family has homesteaded in the Klamath Basin and has been farming here ever since. They grow potatoes, grain, alfalfa, and onions. When she is old enough, she wants to farm with her Dad and run the swather. She is kind, sweet, and respectful to anyone she meets.

Someday, she would like to attend Oregon State University, where she would study to be a doctor who can help people when hurt or sick, a sixth-generation farmer, and a mommy.

Miss Chloe K. Staub is the daughter of Jared and Alicia Staub of Merrill. She has a sister named Alivia. She attends Merrill Elementary and is in kindergarten. She loves her dog, Boomer, pink, and dances her heart to all kinds of music. She plays Biddy Ball and T-Ball. She enjoys running amuck, cheerleading, playing with Barbies, singing, dancing, and entering! She loves spending time with her friends, family, and especially her grandparents! She wants to travel to Kauai, Washington, Los Angeles, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Someday, she would like to be a paleontologist, a soccer player, and an artist!
