Madalyn and Zane worked together (with the help of their Agent and Mom) to decorate the exhibit with the theme “Blue Ribbon Memories”. The exhibit placed 2nd. The experience was a wonderful tool to teach: confidence, organizational skills, craftsmanship, leadership skills, and VERY IMPORTANT = How to productively manage, organize, and optimize multiple ideas within a working group.

4-H is a wonderful resource for your home educated student to get involved in the community and be more socially involved in a well-organized, productive, wholesome environment.

The paybacks from being actively involved in 4-H can last a lifetime. It truly can give them what the pledge suggests and a lot MORE. 4-H is the nation’s largest positive youth development and mentoring organization…it well worth your time to learn more!
