4-H is coming to Drayton!
Drayton! 4-H is looking for some awesome kids ages 5-18!
If you’ve never heard of 4-H, it is a youth development program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It offers hands-on learning experiences in areas like technology & science, agriculture, career education, and civic engagement with the goal of empowering young people to reach their full potential.
If you have students in the sewing club, FFA, and/or FCCLA, and the soon-to-be cooking club for K-6, 4-H is a sure fit! Projects in any of the clubs benefit the other clubs and provide a firm background in the projects chosen.
There will be an informational meeting on April 29th at 7 pm in the FACS room (please enter on the north side of the school and come in Door #8). Contact Shelly Quimby at shelly.quimby@dps19.com
