On Saturday, April 23, twelve students from six counties in the Big Bend Region competed at the District 4-H Public Speaking Contest. This contest was held at the UF/IFAS Wakulla County Extension Office in Crawfordville. Two separate contests were held that day: 4th/5th Grade Division and 6th Grade Division.

Leon County students won first place in both contests!

Congrats to Kinsley and Ian! Kinsley won first place in the 4th/5th Grade Division with her speech "If I were Principal" and Ian won first place in the 6th Grade Division with his speech "Monsters".

Thanks to Florida Power & Light for their partnership with our Florida 4-H Public Speaking Program. Their support helps spark interests in our youth and empowers them to share their ideas with their communities.
