4-H School Enrichment is a planned sequence of
learning experiences which involves direct teaching by extension staff or
trained volunteers as part of the school curriculum. Programs,
activities, and events rotate on the 9-week grading period.
Classrooms may participate in one or all of the following ways:
- Classroom Clubs- function
like community clubs, but meet during school hours. The 4-H
agent will provide club orientation and officer training, but teachers
are the club advisors. This type of club is excellent for youth
that have difficulty finding transportation to and from after-school
meetings. To request more information about classroom clubs,

- Jackson County Ag Adventures-
An
Agriculture Education Program for 5th grade students. Teachers prep
students using Ag Adventure classroom kits with background information
and student activities that are agriculture based. Students then
attend an interactive hands-on field trip at the UF North FL Research
Center Beef Unit to learn about beef, cotton, peanuts, dairy, and
agriculture by products. This field trip is usually held during
national 4-H week (the first full week in October).
- 4-H Tropicana Public Speaking Contest-
A public speaking program for 4, 5,
and 6 grades in which students learn how to select and research
a topic, develop an outline, write, and deliver a speech. Classroom
winners compete in the school contest. School winners compete in the
county contest, held February 21st. First place county winners receive
a full scholarship to 4-H summer camp.
