MIA Homcoming Royalty

Marco Island Academy seniors Jessica Ragan and Ford McKee were surprised and very pleased when named this year’s Homecoming queen and king at half time of the football game on Oct. 10.

Once all the court was introduced with their parents or friends, they all lined up by balloons with their names. When popped two balloons sprayed glitter to announce the king and queen.

“When I saw the glitter, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in awe,” said McKee.

Ragan said, “I am so surprised and honored to be queen.”

Members of the court included freshmen Susan Faremouth and John Martin; sophomores Larysa Chystyk and Kyle Russo; juniors Emily McRae and Brian Flynn; and seniors Anna Howard, Livia Lenhoff, Anton Mertens, Preston Reese, Shyan Surber Peter Servente, Alexis Vilk and Kerby Victor.
