Luke kept asking when was it his turn to go up on stage! Luckily for him, I kept offering him cookies to be quiet!
I just had to share the kids accomplishments from the Pitt County 4-H Achievement Banquet that was held this evening.
The Pearson kids were recognized for:
Rachael won:
Vice President of the Year 2008
County Champion for Health Project book
County Champion for Photography Project Book
County Champion for Community Service Project Book, then sent to district competition
Expressive Arts Project Book was sent to District competition
Won a trophy for two project books going to district for 2007
Alex was recognized for his 2008 Photography project book. Kids aren't in the competitive range until they are nine in 4-H years (as of January 1st of that year). So, his wasn't judged against other kids work. but he did get great marks from the judges on his project book!
David also was recognized for his Photography project book. He did a good job, and got excellent marks on his book as well!
Our club, The Whiz Kidz, is pictured above on the right side of the plaque, won:
Co-Club of the Year (for the 2nd year in a row, we tied for club of the year with the Mane Challengers)
Community Service Club of the Year
Awarded Emerald Seal for our club
Recognized for the club with the most winning project books
It was a banner night for our club and our kids. We were excited to see them doing so well. One of the reasons that we love 4-H is that it helps us to round out the kids education and gives them great opportunities to share what they've learned, sometimes in a competitive environment. They learn great life skills and become better citizens because of what they experience and learn.
