Hello everyone!! My name is Sarah Hahn and I am your Miss Red River Valley's Teen 2025. I grew up in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
I am a sophomore and open enrolling at Deuel High School.
  At school I am apart of Key club as well as a three sport athlete doing volleyball, figure skating and softball. I spent my summer working at Falls Stay n' Play in Thief River Falls. I love to color, hanging out with friends, and getting to know new people in my communities.
  This is my first pageant and local title and I am so excited to be apart of this organization and growing.
   My Community Service Initiative is, Love Shouldn't Hurt: Teen Dating Violence. In Minnesota 1 in 5 teenage girls  have been sexually and physically abused by their partner. It's hard to see the signs; by noticing the signs and getting help for these young ladies in danger the numbers can go down.

TEEN eligibility: Miss America’s Teen 14-18 – must be 14 by state competition and no older than 18 at state competition. Contestants who are 18 may choose to compete as a teen or a miss contestant.  But once you choose either teen or miss, you can't switch back to one or the other.​
