On April 3, both girls participated in the Sarpy County 4-H Speech Contest. I was a part of 4-H growing up, and I am so thankful for that opportunity my parents gave me. I feel 4-H instills so many skills and qualities in kids. I not only learned sewing, baking, first aid, babysitting, etc...but I gained many skills as well, public speaking, presentation, interview judging, accepting judgement on what I've done, etc. I'm excited to start my kids on this same adventure.
We joined a great group this year and look forward to many wonderful experiences throughout the years. This year both girls fall into the Clover Kids category which means they can participate in 4-H activities and receive participation ribbons...but not have to worry about getting a 'judgement' ribbon (ie. purple, blue, red and white).
The girls each memorized a poem for the Speech Contest. They did such an amazing job, learning their poem then getting up in front of people to recite it. Afterwards they had to interview with a judge regarding their piece. I was SO proud of how they did....all the way around!
Way to go Lainey and Sophie! ♥
