Dear 4-H Families,
Happy May! During this month, many holidays will be celebrated: May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Many 4-H events and activities are also planned: Judging Contests, Livestock Tagging, Make-Up Demonstrations and Judging and more!
Congratulations to all members who took part in the County Demonstration Contest as well as the Photography and Wood Science Judging. The Exchange Trip group had a successful Quarter Auction Fundraiser as well!
Congratulations to the DE 4-H LifeSmarts Team who placed 3rd out of 47 teams at the National Event in San Diego last month! Members were from Sussex 4-H clubs and included: Carter Bradley, Emily Davis, Kaitlyn Kopf, Edwin Noon, and Sophie Noon. They were coached by Rebecca and Keith Johnson. This team studied and worked hard and we are so proud of their accomplishments!
Thank you to the clubs who submitted a club report this month, please keep them coming! Be sure to submit your club news to Kaleb or myself by the 25th of each month. Include a fun activity, projects completed, and photos of your club in actions. We love to see and share what each club is doing virtually or in person!
Hopefully the sunshine and warmer temperatures will decide to stick around! I encourage everyone to go outside and enjoy healthy activities such as biking, walking, hiking, or just having a picnic in your backyard or a local park. Take time out of your schedules to spend time with the ones you love most!
Yours in 4-H,
Jill Jackson
