โ€ผ๏ธ Exciting Newsโ€ผ๏ธ

This year our Kindergarten classes are excited to participate in the Adopt-A-Cow Program with Calhoun County 4-H! ๐Ÿ€

Our students will be taking part in a fun virtual experience where we get to follow along with our very own four-legged friend! Throughout the year, weโ€™ll learn about dairy cows, agriculture, farming, and where our food comes from while getting to know our adopted cow along the way.
We are so excited for this hands-on learning experience and canโ€™t wait to see what our kindergarteners discover throughout the year! Be sure to follow along with us as we share our Adopt-A-Cow adventures! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฎ

A big thank you to Calhoun County 4-H for bringing this exciting agricultural education experience to our kindergarten classrooms!

๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ„Calhoun County 4-H is celebrating!๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ€๐ŸŽ‰

We are so excited to congratulate Bellami Holliday, a Calhoun County 4-H member, who has been selected to receive a heifer through the Florida 4-H Dairy Heifer Chain!

This is an incredible opportunity for Bellami to grow her knowledge and skills through hands-on experience caring for, showing, and managing a registered dairy heifer as part of her 4-H project. Sheโ€™ll keep records, participate in shows, and learn what it takes to raise and care for her animal along the way.

What makes the Dairy Heifer Chain especially exciting is that this opportunity doesnโ€™t stop with Bellami. When her heifer is old enough, she will be bred, and her first heifer calf will go to another Florida 4-H member, creating the next link in the chain. ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ€

We are incredibly proud of Bellami for earning this opportunity and canโ€™t wait to watch her grow through this project. Calhoun County 4-H will be cheering her on every step of the way as she begins this exciting new adventure! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’š
