WHAT IS 4-H AND HOW CAN I JOIN? The mission of Georgia 4-H is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills, and forming attitudes that will enable them to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. This mission is accomplished, through hands on learning experiences, focused on agricultural and environmental issues, agriculture awareness, leadership, communication skills, foods and nutrition, health, energy conservation, and citize...nship.

A year ago, senior 4-H member Lily Baldree traveled with our 4-H agent Mrs. Katrina to Maryland and Washington D.C. for the National 4-H Healthy Living Summit. This year, Mrs. Katrina, with the help of Miss Jordan and Miss Sydney, once again taught a National Workshop with delegates from all over the country! Even though it is virtual, we are so happy to learn new things and have fun with fellow 4-H’ers nationwide.

Update: this sweet guy is at the animal shelter! This sweet pup wandered up to the Extension Office this afternoon. Does anyone know who he belongs to, or would anyone like to take him home? He seems young, but he knows basic commands such as sit and stay and he listens well. He doesn’t seem to mind other dogs either! He is so friendly and loving. ... If this is your dog or you’d like to give him a Fur-ever Home please call the Cook County Extension Office at (229) 896-7456.

Middle School Friday’s. At Cook Middle School, we meet once a month, every 4th week of the month on a Friday, from 7:40-8:00 am at the cafeteria. Today, I asked our 4-H’ers to invite one friend to be in 4-H. Carson was able to get Brady enrolled, they are getting excited to join our shotgun team. ... Semaj invited Diamond to join today and Diamond will come to the 4-H office next Friday to turn in her enrollment card. We want you in 4-H! It’s free to join! @georgia4h inspires kids to do and provides #opportunityforall
