Youth..."To Make the Best Better"
4-H Celebrating its 100 years in existence, reaches youth through hands-on,
learning by doing activities. This year, Personal Development & Leadership,
Healthy Lifestyles Education, and Plants/Animals were the top project chosen by
Lafayette County Youth.
School enrichment programs have been conducted in Stamps, Bradley and
Lewisville Head-Start, Elementary and High School classes. Subjects taught
included character education, food safety, nutrition, financial resource
management, the value of agriculture to our food supply, conflict resolution and
teamwork.
County-wide activities that provide 4-H’ers to learn skills include the
Annual Achievement Banquet, recordbook training, talks and demonstrations at
County O’Rama, Shooting Sports activities and county horse shows. 4-H’ers from
Lafayette County also participated in state camps, District and State O’Rama
activities, state fairs, state horse shows and shooting sports activities.
