4-H Volunteers Make A World of Difference

Every one of our out-of-school activities is led or supported by volunteers: BB Team, Cooking, STEM, Fishing, and lots more.  Volunteers give freely of their time and talents, and are the heart of 4-H.  Make sure you tell them “THANK YOU!” the next time you see them!

Audio Guided Relaxation from Ms. Shawnie! This was done in our 5th grade classrooms and is a great way to relax and can be used to help you fall asleep! NOTE – you will need to click play (sideways triangle) when the page loads in order to listen.
