A NOTE TO OUR 2020 SENIORS
We wish there was a way we could take your fear away,
your fear of not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
Instead of having the excitement of all the lasts...
you have questions of what is to come.
Our futures are never guaranteed.
But as a 4-H member, remember your motto
“To Make the Best Better”
All this shall and will pass.
Stay strong , Live long,
and
Today will be just a memory.
Safe travels in your journeys ahead.
We here at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Jackson County
Office,
Would like to Congratulates you On your graduation of 2020.
Many Blessings to You Always.
Mike, Courtney and Kelley
A NOTE TO OUR
4-H Members and Families
Texas 4-H has mandated that all face-to-face activities cease un- til May 1, 2020. We wish there was a way to make things easier.
Not knowing what tomorrow will bring can be fearful, but as a 4- H member, remember your motto:
“To Make the Best Better”
All this shall and will pass.
Stay strong, and remember to take this time to maybe perfect your sewing, photography or cooking skills. Take this time to make goals for the 2020-2021 4-H year. Take this time to fill out your Level of Awards, Recordbooks, Star Application and Project
Competition Forms and for Seniors, Scholarship Applications.
Also take this time to learn new ways to reach others through 4- H. Write a card to a long distance family member, make a card for the elderly, or color a page for a child in the hospital. There are still many things that you can do through 4-H during this
time of self-distancing.
If at any time you have a question or concern about anything, we are still here at the office to serve you. We cannot wait to see you
all again, face-to-face, in the future.
Mike, Courtney and Kelley
