Growing At Western 

The 2019-2020 school year has begun and so have 4-H sign-ups a Western. Last year most of the 4-Hers were in 8th grade so they have gone on to high school but out of my 6th and 7th graders I have 3 that I know are coming back hat was out of 8. During open house I had 15 new students show interest in 4-H after school programming and whom have already completed applications. We are excited because this year they will be able to participate in the Ignite Conference. The Ignite Conference is targeting middle school students who what to explore their talents and interests to build upon their current academic pursuits. Currently there are 8 confirmed 4-H after school participants, I’m sure that just as last year, the students will recruit and this program will continue to grow.
