Fall Semester 4-H Afterschool Parent Share

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

We have wrapped up another successful session of afterschool 4-H clubs.  Our students have had some great opportunities in their afterschool clubs.  They have been learning about a variety of things including teamwork, cooperation, and healthy lifestyle activities like jumping rope, flag football, and steal the flag.  They also have been trying new recipes and some even liked spinach.  Our GPS students have been learning how to operate a GPS unit and many things that it is capable of doing.  Students have also been able to explore their creative side through drama and different art mediums, as well as make fun fall crafts.  Parents enjoyed coming to the school on Monday, November, 21 2011 to see the new skills and projects that their child has been working on.  Our service project for the Fall Semester was collecting food and coats to be donated to a local shelter.  Service is a very important part of 4-H.  The students have learned that hands are for serving others and we hope they felt good about themselves as they donated their items.  If you missed the Fall Semester sign-ups  there will be another chance to register for the Spring Semester on Wednesday, January 4, 2012.  This is an online registration so look on the school website for more information.
