April 4-H Highlight

Public speaking skills are ranked number one among the desired skill sets of professionals. Every 4-H member is encouraged to give a presentation each year. A 4-H presentation can be a demonstration, include audio-visual aids, and involve problem solving. Through their presentations, youth learn to research a subject, organize their ideas into a logical order and practice public speaking skills. Contest day is a day that all 4-Hers have a chance to practice their skills and show their many talents. 


Lets please congratulate all of our participant/winners from Fairfax County. 


District Contest Day will take place April 13 in Spotsylvania.
