Camden County 4-H’ers from St. Marys Middle, Camden Middle, and Camden High School participated in District Project Achievement on February 9th – 11th at Rock Eagle 4-H Center. The 4-H’ers were asked to choose a subject that interest them and prepare a demonstration to present in front of judges at this district contest. In comparison to the Cloverleaf DPA for 5th and 6th graders, these students were also required to put together a portfolio of the work they had done related to their project within the last year. This portfolio also included the 4-H’ers activities related to leadership, community service, school and community activities.
Participants included Maribeth Bottorff, who placed first in Environmental Science; Justina Outler, who placed second in Housing and Environment; and Ashley Hill, who placed third in Companion Animals. Also participating in this competition were Holly Carter – Health, Jaime Kelsey – Computers, Dylan Cole – Target Sports, and Taylor Harrell – Performing Arts, Dance.
The 4-H’ers exhibited leadership skills while increasing their knowledge and public speaking skills. Congratulations to all participants.
