Ms. Binns has been in 4-H for 5 years and has had photography, horticulture, foods, and crafts as her projects. Ms. Binns took extreme care in posing her subject at the camp to represent the tribal team and competions that occur during 4-H camps. She has attended 4-H camp for 5 years. She said that she likes 4-H camp because “I like to have fun while being active”. The 4-H Camp Photo Contest is sponsored by Harford County 4-H Clubs, Inc. the operator of the Harford County 4-H Camp at the Rocks.
Ms. Binns’ photo was chosen by a team of photography judges at the 4-H indoor exibit building at the 2015 Harford County Farm Fair.

The judges considered the quality of the photo, depiction of the camp and/or the camp’s purpose, appropriateness for use by the camp, and pleasing to the general public for all contest entries.

A big congratulations, Alyssa. Your photograph is beautiful!
In the future when referring to a 13 year old girl, please preface her name with Miss not Ms.. Ms. is a term for adult women who choose not to be identified as married or single.
Ms.
/miz/
noun

Don’t Nitpick, don’t ruin the enthusiasm of the article by going after me. I stated exactly what you printed. The key word is woman. I suppose someone, somewhere could argue the point that a 13 year old female is a woman. In my world, she is still a child; a new teenager. The word Ms. with regard to the article was used incorrectly. It does not take away from the winner of the contest and her beautiful photograph. I actually learned from this because prior to my second post I researched the history plus why and how Ms., Mrs., and Miss are used.
K, are you serious with this Ms./Miss thing? Get a life you loser.
” I actually learned from this because prior to my second post I researched the history plus why and how Ms., Mrs., and Miss are used.”
No, that isn’t weird AT ALL. Completely normal. Now go back in your Mom’s basement and research how to sit on a fence post.
