Annual Project Reports (APR)
APR forms are now available! Please remind your members that all members that are Juniors or above should be completing these for each project. Even better, help your members to complete them at the end of your project meeting!
Enrollment
Just a reminder that all youth must be properly enrolled in 4-H to participate in 4-H projects, meetings, or events. They may attend 1 meeting to check it out, but after that must be fully enrolled in ZSuite. Please send me a list of kids at your project meeting so I can verify enrollment is complete in ZSuite.
Project Presentations
Each project should plan to put together a brief, informational presentation to give at a club meeting this year. Project presentations should be just a couple of minutes long and should teach the audience something that the group has learned in the project. Bringing samples or demonstrating what was learned is encouraged! Click the link below to signup for a meeting slot!
