This year, with the help of our county extension office, the WCHS Garden Club has become an official 4-H Club! This status has allowed us to elect leadership within our club, organize ourselves more effectively, and access fun programs like the annual 4-H Poultry Show, our district's Teen Retreat, and 4-H Presentations at Northeast District Activity Day. Our group will also compete in the NC Envirothon on March 21st, testing our knowledge of Aquatics, Soil, current environmental issues, Wildlife, and Forestry.

To the left, 4-H Agent and County Extension Director Crystal Smith teaches students parliamentary procedure during our meeting. Vice President Jahaun Attucks runs the meeting in the absence of our President. Students now know how to properly run a business meeting, pass motions through this procedure, and set an agenda.

Vaughan Elementary School Teacher Ms. Simons Refurbishes Garden

When Ms. Simons started vermiculture and garden classes with FoodCorps and her students last fall, the plan was to build a small garden for her students to tend. Fortunately, a science class had left a dormant bed some time ago, and we were able to refurbish it with little effort. This past week, students enjoyed the sunny weather, digging up weeds and wild onions. They also amended the soil with some worm castings from "Hotel Transylworma," their class's indoor worm bin. Planting carrots and potatoes of all colors last week, we're also looking forward to fresh lettuce and a harvest party later on! Great job Ms. Simons and students!
