Welcome to Middle School 4-H!

Junior Project Achievement

Competition date at Rock Eagle 4-H Center is March 5-7, 2010

This event is similar to Cloverleaf Project Achievement where you prepare and give a presentation on a project that you select, however, there are a few differences. You will have to prepare a portfolio that describes your project work and the 4-H activities and community service projects you have participated in. The more 4-H activities in which you participate, the better your portfolio will be. It’s really easy to put together a “Great Portfolio” and Mrs Hovatter is here to help you. Just call to make an appointment (770) 467-4225.
