Time to start thinking about fair….Only 71 days away
April 14-24
Theme is … “on the farm”
Each project needs to start working on their Herdsmanship project
Ms. Brenda signed us up for parking lot clean up day (April 22nd). Our club will earn $250.00 for this work! Will only take about an hour. Each club could only pick one day. If there are any left-over days, we can grab those too. List will be emailed out in March. This is something we wanted to do last year, but sign up closed too quickly. This counts as community service too!

Ms. LaVigne and Christian will give a session on how to design your own website. It will be on Tuesday, February 9th from 6-7:30 at this classroom. Bring your own computer.
