Jody Terry – 4-H off to good start

Anonymous The Randolph Guide Tue Feb 23, 2010, 06:34 PM EST

Randolph County 4-H has gotten off to a great start for 2010. Lots of exciting events and great ideas to keep us busy at the 4-H office. A new round of embryology has started in some of our elementary schools, which means a new group of second-graders will have the opportunity to learn about the study of life.

Children have a natural sense of curiosity about living things in the world around them. Building on this curiosity, students develop an understanding of biology concepts through direct experience with living things, their life cycles and their habitats. Within this curriculum students will have the opportunity to develop life skills related to science processes, teamwork, keeping records, and planning and organizing.

Sig McCain and Gail Allred, club leaders for Randolph County 4- H, attended the state 4-H volunteer leaders conference Feb. 5 through Feb. 7 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel, Research Triangle Park. They were able to enjoy the company of other 4-H volunteers from across the state while gaining some great insight from informative workshops on youth development.

Our annual achievement night is planned for Feb. 26 at First Presbyterian Church in Asheboro. This is our chance to recognize all the hard work our 4-H youth, families and volunteers have accomplished while enjoying a delicious meal and great company at the same time. This years’ theme is Operation: Randolph County 4-H Salutes!

In keeping with this theme we would like to invite youth and families to collect items to be donated to soldiers deployed overseas. I look forward to sharing the results of all our award presentations with you next month.

Some great events coming up for Randolph County 4-H:

n Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 3 for our Human Race Soup Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Extension Office. Stop by and enjoy some tasty homemade soup, crackers, dessert, and tea or lemonade for a $5 donation to our Human Race fundraiser.

n On March 5 and March 6 several of our 4-Hers will attend North Central Teen Retreat at Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Camp in Reidsville. This overnight event is always a fun time for everyone.

n The first ever Randolph County Youth Summit at Providence Grove High School will take place on March 26 (teacher’s workday). This is a daylong event offered to students attending all of our Randolph County middle schools. A motivational speaker, fun workshops and an afternoon concert make this a great way to spend the day. Two of the workshops will be taught by Randolph County 4-H teens.

n The Human Race is on the calendar for March 27. This year we will kick off at Bicentennial Park in downtown Asheboro. If you are interested in getting a team together, walking/running or making a donation, contact us here at the 4-H office.
