Help! I need someone to adopt this rooster from our school coop. He’s the only standard sized chicken in the coop and he’s started picking on all of the bantams. He needs a home this week!

4-H and their “chicks” enjoyed participating in the HPEM Leadership Parade!

Thank you, Mrs. Rodgers class, for making our new garden markers. They are a colorful, artistic addition! Also, thank you Kevin Boyle for weed-eating around our beds and coop. We are thankful for all the hands who pitch in to make our school beautiful!

This Friday, if you are a 4-H member and don’t have another job already given to you, wear your 4-H shirts (purple) and walk with 4-H in the Leadership Parade!

Today’s 4-H meeting was all about eggs! We enjoyed our new chicks, some of which hatched from our very own Raider Roost. Then we made omelets in ziploc bags. HPEM 4-H’ers are “egg”cellent!

The temperature may not feel like it, but Spring is almost here. Today we candled our eggs- we have chicks on the way! We also replanted the school garden with a variety of vegetables and disassembled a raised bed that was past its prime. The best way to learn, is to do!

Does anyone want 1 silky rooster? We have 2 in our school coop and they aren’t getting along.

Today, our 4-H members participated in a STEM challenge. We built bridges with a goal of holding as many Pennies as we could. Interested 4-H members can talk to Ms. Welch about creating an engineering team for upcoming competitions! The good news is, all 4 bridges were sturdy enough to hold 120 pennies (the goal). HPEM has some future engineers!

The January 4-H meeting will be next Tuesday, January 17th until 4:00. Meet in Ms. Welch’s room!

HPEM 4-H used their hands for service today and volunteered as Salvation Army bell ringers. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and helped! 🍀❤️
