🎓 Celebrating our seniors: Madison Singbeil
MacBride's Pride 4-H Club

🍀 Through 4-H, Madison has been participated in Rabbits, Communications, Clothing Event, and static projects. She has been an active 4-Her, serving on the Johnson County 4-H Youth Council, held club officer positions, community service projects, and volunteered at 4-H junior camp and summer day camps.

Madison has taken her passion far and wide serving on the State 4-H Council, attended the National 4-H Congress, National 4-H Conference, State 4-H Conference, and Voices at the Capital day.

Outside of 4-H, she has been involved in cheer, youth group, silver cord, FFA, School Board Student Board Member, Girls State Representative, archery, student council, and Solon Best Buddies.

🍀 As a 4-Her, Madison learned that "leadership is not just about holding a title, but about how you treat people and the example you set every day."

Madison plans to attend Buena Vista University, pursuing a major in pre-vet medicane and animal science.
