What a fabulous meeting we had today!
Group B was class of the month!!!! We collected over 35 ink cartridges to recycle for scholarships for camp! Our MARCH COMMUNITY PROJECT: JARED BOX PROJECT The goal of the Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of chronically ill children. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope, and love. A JAred Box is a shoebox size plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, cards, and games. Each box contains items selected for a specific age or gender. The boxes are delivered to hospitals and are given to chronically ill children. The JAred Boxes provide a special diversion for young patients as they receive chemotherapy and other medical treatments. PLEASE DONATE SMALL TOYS, ARTS AND CRAFTS, OR GAMES FOR THESE CHILDREN! Summer Camp Scholarship Contest letters - DUE to the 4-H office by March 23rd. Your child has this month's newsletter with all of the details! Our next meeting is April 14th. The following students need to share a presentation at this meeting: Group A: Alyssa, Lucas, Gillian, Josh, Esther Group B: Jake, Cole (who didn't have it ready this month), Matthew, Clay, Zachary, Olivia, Erica, Emily

FRIDAY - Field trip to the Center for Puppetry Arts to see Anne Frank.
This powerful production commemorates the life of a remarkable young girl and her inspiring story. Using Anne Frank’s actual words from her diary, this compelling production gives form to the young girl's vivid account of a life in hiding during the Holocaust, sensitively capturing her inner life and dreams. Anne Frank: Within and Without chronicles Anne’s day-to-day life as she, her family, and four others hid together during Nazi oppression and persecution. The show also explores the world outside the walls of the Secret Annex with scenes demonstrating the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism across Europe. Presented in cooperation with the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, this evocative telling of Anne's experiences honors a remarkable teenager who has touched the hearts of people around the globe for more than 60 years. This show is recommended for ages 12 through adult and includes talkbacks with the artists after every performance. |
