Happy November! During 4-H Clubs this month we will be having the Public Speaking Contest. Winners from this contest will be given a "Golden Ticket" to advance to participate in the County Public Speaking Contest in December. We will also be collecting recycled ornaments for our service learning project. These ornaments will be used to decorate Christmas trees around the county. We've asked the students to create these ornaments with things around the house such as old CD's, sunglasses, pipe cleaners, light bulbs, ect.
