(Sunman, IN) – Sunman Elementary School kindergarten teacher Jasmyn “Jazzy” Blackburn recently finished as 1st runner-up in the Miss Indiana USA Pageant.

The 24-year-old Blackburn is from Lawrenceburg, and volunteers with Girls on the Run, a program for elementary girls aimed at inspiring empowerment and kindness through running, and Big Brothers Big Sisters, a mentorship organization for underprivileged youth.
