Sumter Sunshine 4H Club

09/11/2026

For all official club meeting updates/ important member communication please refer to the GroupMe account. Everyone has been added. At the time of our first meeting we had a total of 17/20 spots filled. I will get a final count. Thank you so so much to all parents who registered online 💚
This year we have new leadership in the extension office and a new member at the district office overseeing insurance, due to 4H being an activity outside of the district that is why enrollment was critical. Sorry for all the confusion, but thank you for sticking with us and being flexible!

Below I am sharing a flyer for a way to support members of the past, and get a glimpse of what’s to come for the future of our kids!
If you would like to support the middle/high school and have the chance to win an awesome prize let us know!!

Thank you again to all those who turned in wonderful applications. Please remember to sign up on 4H online and register to the club. There should not be a fee as we are a school based club, please select us as primary!! Due to the fact that 09/04 has passed waitlisted families have been notified that spots are open to register as it is past the registration deadline. If you have not yet joined the GroupMe invite that was sent. The strict adherence to deadlines is to better prepare our kids for the fair projects and FFA. Thank you for your understanding.

We are currently still waiting insurance clearance for our meeting next week. If I have not received approval by Tuesday we will delay the first meeting. Thank you for your understanding.

Applicant information

07/17/2026

We are so excited for the upcoming 26-27 school year!

There will be some changes to the club as Mrs. Crall moves over to SSMS to the AG department Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Carroll-Sarne will be the on campus advisors for the club.
Our club was very large last year, this year we are accepting 20 members through an application process which will be available for pickup from Mrs. Hall once school starts. We really want to focus on fair projects this year. On campus we plan to still have chickens, but we also are starting a pollinator garden.
The downsizing of the club is not to discourage anyone, but we need agriculture driven students who have a passion for 4-H and really want to be a part of the program. If 4-H fair projects, community service, and agriculture are all things you are interested please pick up an application once school starts.
Remember you need to reapply for the club. This year we will also be electing student leader positions such as, president, vice president, secretary and a few other positions.
Thank you to all the families who have supported us, we truly appreciate it. We look forward to reviewing applications so we can select a strong group of students to represent the Sunshine 4-H club!
