4-H Information and Guidelines

•          4H dues are $20.00 for those joining
•          Applications are available from Mrs. Ledet for those wanting to join.

        4-H is the nation's largest youth development organization that engages in hands-on learning activities in the areas of science, healthy living, and food security among elementary and secondary school students in grades 4-12.  The 4-H Research Foundation states that students who actively participate in 4-H are  more likely to make contributions to their communities, be civically active, make healthier choices, and participate in science, engineering, and computer technology programs during their out-of-school time.  

The 4-H's 

Head- managing, thinking

Heart- relating, caring

Hands- giving, working

Health- being, living

       New member inductions are held in the fall, at the beginning of the student's 4th grade year.  Students in 5th and 6th grade are inducted at this time as well.  All students are considered for membership and are encouraged to participate in several 4-H activities throughout the school year.  Students who complete the required number of activities are acknowledged and rewarded for their participation each year at Lisa Park's 4-H awards ceremony. 

Mission-  4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults.

Vision-  A world in which youth and adults learn, grow and work together as catalysts for positive change.
