4-H Top 4 for the week of May 25, 2020

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Hope that you all had a fantastic holiday weekend.  School should be officially over for everyone and our graduates will be having new types of graduations over the next couple of weeks.  We do want to say Congratulations to Natiya Barnes, DJ Brown, and Jordan McKinnon who have all completed their Senior year and will be graduating.  Each was sent a box with their 4-H cords and tassels, a card and notes from the County Council Officers, and their names are on our electronic sign at the office.  We will also be spotlighting them this week on our 4-H blog, and social media pages.  So stay tuned for that.  Congrats to all three of them on this wonderful accomplishment.

Just a reminder that to keep up with the daily changes we are posting things on our blog as fast as we get them in.  Due to that we are also now sharing on our blog and our facebook page a Friday Roundup with the items that have posted during the week, we have a lot of things to share to help keep you on top of your 4-H events. 

   

On to this week's top 4-H.
