What's Happening with Berewick 4-H?!

This past Friday, we had the privilege to visit the Berewick Recreation Center to see Kim Golden's 4-H programming with her after-school group.  This was a fun afternoon as she introduced 4-H to her new group of students, as they were in their first few months of school starting back.  She started out by highlighting the 4 H's and what they meant to the children.  It was really interesting to hear what they had to suggest when she asked what each meant (head, heart, hands, health).  They then had the chance to transition into a quick team building exercise in which they had to help one another get in and out of the hula hoop that was going around their circles - all done without breaking the circle they made when their hands were held all around.  After they'd done this, she then directed them to the tables where they were able to make their 4-H books.  Each page had the H each part of the 4-H clover stands for written on a piece of paper which they were able to glue on.  They then were able to use their creativity to color and put together their book however they chose, along with illustrations of what each part of the clover meant to them.  We as 4-H staff really enjoyed our afternoon with this beautiful group of young 4-H'ers.  We appreciate Kim Golden and her role within Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation and we commend her for the terrific job she does with 4-H programming at her site!
