GLENN COUNTY 4-H PRESENTERS EXCEL!!!

Over 86 Glenn County 4-H members participated in the annual 4-H Presentation Event held Friday, February 3, 2023, at the Willows Intermediate School, reports Glenn County 4-H Community Education Specialist, Christine Kampmann.

The purpose of the 4-H presentation night is to help 4-H youth learn how to research a subject, organize their ideas in a logical order and then communicate the idea by showing and/or telling. There are several categories for the youth to choose from. The categories are: Demonstrations and Illustrated Talks, Science and Engineering Presentations, Educational Display Talks, Prepared Speeches, Impromptu Speeches, Interpretive Reading, “Share the 4-H Fun” Skits, Cultural Arts Presentations, Infographic, and Video Essay.

The A.W. Bramwell Memorial Award was a tie and won this year Brandt Schager of the Capay 4-H Club and Josiah Calderon of the Clover 4-H Club. This award was started in 1977 and is given to the top first-time, 9-10 year old presenter(s). The Carell Kolousek Award for top overall presenters was a tie and won by Brandt Schager of the Capay 4-H Club and Josiah Calderon of the Clover 4-H Club, as they both received perfect scores.

The Clover 4-H Club was awarded the perpetual 4-H Club Demonstration Trophy for top overall points.

LOCAL FOUNDATION SUPPORTS GLENN COUNTY 4-H

A recent donation by the Barceloux Tibesaart Foundation has provided all new 4-H Water Wizards curriculum, a hands-on watershed model, and supplies to deliver to the different schools in Glenn County for youth in school enrichment programs, reports 4-H Community Education Specialist, Christine Kampmann. This includes groups or classrooms of youth receiving a sequence of learning experiences in cooperation with school officials during school hours to support the school curriculum. Direct teaching is done by UCCE 4-H YDP staff, trained 4-H adult volunteers, teen leaders, classroom teachers or other school personnel using 4-H YDP curriculum or other educational materials.

            The 4-H Water Wizard Project is a 12-week science education project that is geared toward 4^th-6^th grade students about the importance of water. Delivered to children in their classroom, students will participate in hands-on learning experiences that encourage inquiry, teach basic information about, and develop an awareness of water in their communities. Over the 12 weeks, students will learn about the water cycle, their community watershed, and how to keep the waterways clean, discover water density and learn the science of soap and suds. Also, as a part of the curriculum, youth take action on water issues in their community, by choosing and planning a community service-learning project.

            The 4-H Water Wizard Project empowers youth to use the information they
