Porter Ranch Teen Represents California in the Miss Teen International

Pageant

Sixteen year old Carly Peeters, a rising senior at Granada Hills Charter High School, is Miss Teen
California International and will be competing for the Miss Teen International Title at the
week-long pageant in West Virginia from July 31 to August 5, 2017. Miss Peeters is running on a
literacy platform because she believes this is a problem that if addressed can help reduce crime,
improve the economy and improve healthcare.

San Fernando Valley, CA, July 25, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Sixteen year old Carly Peeters was crowned Miss
Teen California International at the end of April. In less than a week from now, she is travelling to West
Virginia to compete for the title of Miss Teen International which will be going on from July 31 to
August 5, 2017. During the week-long competition teens from other states as well as other countries will
be interviewed by judges, and take part in fitness wear, fun fashion and evening gown competitions.

The Miss Teen International Pageant system emphasizes a commitment to professionalism and
community service. As Miss Teen California International, Peeters will run on her platform of "Literally
Literacy" for which she started a blog series with the same name. She is working with Jumpstart to
promote literacy and instill in them a lifelong love of learning. To help the global community, Peeters has
also started a fundraiser to help Buildon, a nonprofit organization that builds schools in developing
countries. You can learn more about these organizations at literallyliteracy.com.

When asked why she chose literacy as a platform, Peeters says "Imagine not being able to read or write
your own name. 775 million people worldwide dare functionally illiterate preventing them from acquiring
jobs, access to healthcare, or creating a better future for their families. One book, one child can change
the world."

Carly Peeters is a rising senior at Granada Hills Charter High School where she is the captain of the
equestrian team and a member of the award-winning G-Notes show choir. She is also an actress and
co-starred in A Cowgirl Story with Bailee Madison and Chloe Lukasiak, released on July 17, 2017 on
Netflix.
