Mrs. Elk Grove, Stacey Ferguson, 42, is on a mission to spread the word about childhood obesity.
She speaks to school children and their parents about the issue. Ferguson recently spoke at Florin High School.
Her platform in the pageant circuit is “childhood and adult obesity.”
A graduate from California State University, Sacramento, Ferguson said one out of five children are obese.
Ferguson taught English for 18 years at St. Peter’s Lutheran School in Elk Grove. She now works as a substitute teacher.
The Mrs. United States pageants are for married women “who are successful in their careers,” she said.
