4-H

singingnymph — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:41:06 CST

4-H students can learn about more than animals & plants (though very fun).
Citizenship, service & leadership are a big focus across the board.
Students can also learn about technology, cultural diversity, crafts,
the environment, communication & the arts. 4-H clubs & camps provide
fun, learning intensive environments for a variety of interests.

4-H ~ Head*Heart*Hands*Health

I pledge my head to clearer thinking
My heart to greater loyalty
My hands to larger service
My health to better living
For my club, my community
My country & my world.
