From Trash to Treasure

4-H MOTTO

Learn to do by doing.

4-H PLEDGE

I pledge My HEAD to clearer thinking, My HEART to greater loyalty, My HANDS to larger service, My HEALTH to better living, For my club, my community and my country.

4-H GRACE

(Tune of Auld Lang Syne)

We thank thee, Lord, for blessings great On this, our own fair land. Teach us to serve thee joyfully, With head, heart, health and hand.
