BARCELOUX-TIBESSART FOUNDATION SUPPORTS GLENN COUNTY 4-H

 A recent donation by the Barceloux-Tibessart Foundation has provided the Embryology: Hatching Classroom Projects curriculum, a HovaBator 2370 ultimate egg incubator and brooder kit and supporting materials to deliver to 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 Embryology: Hatching Classroom Projects beginner curriculum is intended for 2^nd-5^th grade students and is designed to provide background information and exciting experiential activities dealing with life science. The Embryology: Experiments in Poultry Science advanced curriculum targets grades 6^th-8^th. Delivered to children in their classroom, students can develop an understanding of biology through direct experience with living things, their life cycles and their habitats. Students will participate in hands-on learning activities and experiments throughout the incubation period and will be able to observe the chicks once they are hatched.

The embryology curriculum meets several national science standards and will be used in conjunction with the Ohio State University Extension ChickQuest Logbook that has ties to the Next Generation Science Standards.  The students will also be provided a personal ChickQuest Logbook that they will use to record data and observations.

2024 Glenn County 4-H Scholarships Awarded

Glenn County 4-H conducted scholarship interviews for graduating seniors on Thursday, April 4, 2024. Two very deserving 4-H youth members were evaluated on their application, individual interviews, and growth in the 4-H program. The recipients are heavily involved in the community, both inside and outside of 4-H. We couldn’t be prouder to award them with scholarship funds to further their education. Each recipient has worked hard to maintain excellent grades, gained work experience throughout their high school careers, and donated several hours of their time giving back to not only the 4-H program, but also their community.

Emily Karle of the Lake 4-H Community Club has been in 4-H for 13 years and is a Senior at Orland High School. Emily has previously held leadership roles as Club President, Club Treasurer, Club Reporter, and 4-H Camp Youth Director. She has been a role model for other members and assisted projects as a Teen Leader for the Dairy Project, the Veterinary Science Project, and the Archery Project. Emily has also served on several event committees and volunteered her time to help with Country Pumpkins Work Days, Fair Clean-up Days, 4-H Fundraiser Dinner, and Orland Trunk or Treat. Emily is always willing to help others and volunteers when she can. Through her experience in the Dairy Project and the Veterinary Science Project, Emily was able to discover her spark and choose a career path in large animal veterinary medicine. Emily will be pursuing her dreams in the fall to obtain an Animal Science Degree to become a veterinarian working on large animals and horses.

Gracie Cloyd of the Schaffert 4-H Community Club has been in 4-H for 13 years and is a Senior at Orland High School. Gracie is always willing to help where needed and guide the younger youth. Gracie has previously been the Club Secret
