We bleed GREEN.

🍀 **That's a Wrap on National 4-H Week!**

As we wrap up National 4-H Week, we're reminded that 4-H is so much more than projects, record books, and ribbons.

It's about the kid who finally finds the courage to speak in front of a crowd. The friendships made along the way. The lessons learned when things don't go as planned. And the pride that comes from working hard and accomplishing something on your own.

It's about growing good kids into great leaders.

Here in Payette County, we're fortunate to have dedicated volunteers, supportive families, and some pretty incredible 4-H youth who make this program what it is.

To our members, leaders, parents, and alumni — THANK YOU for being part of the 4-H family!

**Let's end 4-H Week with a little trip down memory lane!**

🍀 What is one 4-H memory, lesson, or experience that has stuck with you over the years?

We'd love to hear your stories!

Taking 4-H to New Heights!

Happy National 4-H Week

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

4-H isn't just about what kids accomplish today. It's about who they're becoming tomorrow.

Every project completed, meeting led, challenge overcome, and community service opportunity helps build young people who are ready to take on the world.

As National 4-H Week wraps up, we're celebrating the youth, families, and volunteers who make Payette County 4-H something special.

**Finish this sentence: "Because of 4-H, I learned to ______."**

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

Behind every great 4-H experience is someone willing to give their time.

Our volunteer leaders help youth learn new skills, work through challenges, build confidence, and discover what they can do.

From club meetings and project days to record books and fair week, their dedication makes a difference.

**Let's give our 4-H volunteers some recognition! Tag a leader who made a difference in your life or your child's life.**

Happy National 4-H Week

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

Some of the most valuable things kids take home from 4-H don't come with a ribbon!

They're learning how to:
• Set goals and follow through
• Manage money and keep records
• Speak confidently in front of others
• Handle disappointment and celebrate success
• Work hard and take responsibility

The ribbon might collect dust someday, but those skills stick around.

**What's the biggest life lesson you learned through 4-H?**

Happy National 4-H Week

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

4-H dates back to the early 1900s!

What started as youth agricultural clubs grew into a nationwide program helping millions of young people learn leadership, responsibility, and practical life skills.

The projects may have changed over the years, but one thing hasn't: kids learn best when they get the chance to DO.

**Calling all former 4-H members! What year did you start 4-H?**

Happy National 4-H Week

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

You don't need a cow, pig, sheep, or goat to be in 4-H!

4-H offers opportunities to explore photography, robotics, cooking, gardening, sewing, woodworking, public speaking, and so much more.

Whether you're raising an animal, building something, or learning a new skill, there's a place for you in 4-H.

**What's one 4-H project you think more kids should try?**

Happy National 4-H Week!

🍀 **DID YOU KNOW? 4-H EDITION!**

Those four H's stand for something pretty important!

HEAD – Clearer thinking
HEART – Greater loyalty
HANDS – Larger service
HEALTH – Better living

For more than a century, 4-H has helped young people develop skills that go far beyond the classroom or show ring.

Four little H's. A lifetime of lessons!
