Let's try this again:

Thank you all for the submissions to our virtual pumpkin contest! The competition this year was super tough. So tough in fact that we added a new special category of Pumpkin Pictures! Our judge chose 5 students in each division to give this special reward based on "quality of picture and how proud students looked about their work."
Congratulations to all of our winners! 🎃
Results will be in our January Clover Chatter and we will be handing out ribbons at January Club Meetings.

Again, thank you to everyone who let us know about the missing entries. If your student's name still does not appear on this list let us know. As Iberia 4-H, we want to make sure that the work of all our students is fostered and awarded and the absolute last thing we want to do is leave anyone behind. Thank you all for your patience as well!

Are you ready for a beautiful sight? ❄️

Our Winter Wonderland is back this year by popular demand! on December 2nd at the Harold Landry Memorial Building from 7:00-9:00, we are inviting 4-H'ers in 4-6th grade to come and dance the night away with us! Students are allowed to bring one guest 4th-6th grade age who does not need to be a 4-H'er. Students are encouraged to pick up tickets from their 4-H Leaders, but they should be paid for at the door. Parents and leaders are allowed to attend.

This event is hosted by our Junior Leader Club. We encourage all of our junior leaders to volunteer at this event and bring supplies!

11/23/2022

We have been notified that many student entries into the pumpkin contest were not listed in our official results. After looking into this situation, we discovered that many entries were not received, as they were delivered to our spam folder without our knowledge. Now that we have located these entries, we are working on revising the results and making sure that every student is recognized for their hard work!

We are sorry for this mistake. We are hoping to have updated results as soon as possible. Thank you to those who pointed out the issue and thanks to you all for understanding!

4-H is such an influential part in the lives of so many young people and their families. Today we want to reminisce on how much 4-H has done for all of us. This includes the friends we've made, the places we've been, opportunities that we have been given, and everything we have learned along the way! So what is it in 4-H the you are most thankful for? The people? The experiences? The t-shirts? Whatever it is, take a moment today to be mindful and show thanks!

It's National 4-H Week! Happy We Build Leaders Wednesday!

The Louisiana 4-H program impacts almost 200,000 youth each year with programs about leadership, citizenship, healthy living, and STEM. Louisiana 4-H has six State Boards and two Ambassador Teams allowing members high school members to use their leadership skills to serve others.

I recently discovered the documentary Kiss the Ground, and it has changed the way I view climate change forever. Finally, we have some ideas that will help stop and reverse global warming. “It is as old as dirt” said Woody Harrelson, and that’s because our solution is soil. We have been looking for outside resources for so long we forgot to consider what’s been under our nose this entire time. This documentary is perfect for all ages because it is entertaining and uses persuasive techniques to show the world change is possible. If you want to obtain the free educational cut, go to
