The goal of this project is to provide a PA system to the Conecuh County 4-H to utilize during programming. The goal of 4-H is to develop citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential programs and a positive youth development approach. The Conecuh County 4-H is seeking to enhance the 4-H experience for the youth of our county. It is our mission to provide hands-on experiences and learning as an educational method that directly involves the learner, by actively encouraging them to do something in order to learn about it. In short, it is ‘learning by doing’. In order to provide the students of our county with the best possible education, we needed to purchase a PA system that will be utilized with every animal science, S.T.E.M., and after-school event. Prior to purchasing this system, our county had to travel to surrounding counties to borrow PA systems for our programs. By purchasing this system, we were able to provide larger activities this year that involved more children.

These were school boxes filled with supplies such as scissors, glue, crayons, markers, erasers, pencils, pencil sharpner, construction paper. The second project was Family Literacy Night where we distributed books and homemade props to go with each book for the children to role play with at home. The third project was Graduation. Supplies and decorations were purchased to decorate with an “Ocean Theme” this year. Sand buckets were purchased and filled with end of the year practice items for the summer. The fourth project was Curriculum Supplies and Props for the HIPPY families. The supplies and props make it possible for the families to complete their weekly packets in the areas of Science, Math, and Language Development, and fine and gross motor skills.
