Dear Teacher, 

Do you want your students to actively participate in hands-on science, math, language arts, art, social studies and social skills activities? 

Are you looking for assistance in designing, integrating and implementing your curriculum?  If we have your attention and curiosity GREAT because many of your answers can be found within an  educational program called "4-H in the Classroom". 

Curriculum offerings for the 2010-2011 school year have now been updated.  If you are interested in offering a program, contact me today! 

FOR 2010-2011: All classes participating in the OSU Extension 4-H School Enrichment program will need to pay a $15.00 Participation Fee (this is in addition to any relevant materials charges).  This $15.00 fee is per class, good for the entire school year, and entitles the participating classroom to use ALL 4-H School Enrichment curriculum and offered support.

Bookmark this page and check back for information availability.  All fall offerings are now listed.  If you have any questions regarding these programs, please contact Hannah at 740-653-5419, ext. 19 or send an e-mail. 

Sincerely,

Hannah Kohler
