🍀💚 Celebrating National 4-H Week! 💚🍀

We’ve had a great time celebrating National 4-H Week here in Platte County!

Our Jr. Leaders helped spread the 4-H spirit by decorating the windows at the Extension Office, bringing some 4-H pride to our community! 🍀🎨

The City of Columbus is also showing their support by lighting up the viaduct green in honor of National 4-H Week! 💚

We were also proud to have two 4-H members attend the Platte County Board of Supervisors meeting to share their experiences with 4-H and highlight the positive impact it has on youth. During the meeting, a proclamation recognizing National 4-H Week was signed in honor of the week and the contributions of 4-H to our community. 💚🍀

Thank you to our Jr. Leaders, 4-H members, volunteers, families, and community partners for helping us celebrate and showcase all that 4-H has to offer!

Learn. Lead. Serve. Grow. 🌱💚
