Write a commentThe Oswego County 4-H Achievement Night was held on October 22nd at the Scriba Volunteer Fire Department.
Achievement Night provides the opportunity for youth to be recognized for their year-round 4-H accomplishments, achievements, and completions. Each 4-H’er even those that are 5 years old received a certificate and an award. This helps the youth feel a sense of mastery and belonging. The youth and their families had a great time being in person with all their friends again to celebrate the accomplishments they achieved all year! Everyone was able to safely social distance and all safety protocols such as masking were maintained throughout the night.
The Oswego County 4-H Achievement Night was an award ceremony with raffle prizes and treats for everyone who attended. 4-H staff, Linda Brosch and Jolene Zaia hosted the event highlighting all the accomplishments of the 4-H members over the 2020-2021 4-H year. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County Board President, Deb Daby presented project pins in clothing & textiles and photography to Marishka Biela. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County Executive Director, Paul A. Forestiere II presented the I Dare You Award to Joe DelConte. The I Dare You award is a national leadership award designed to recognize youth who have demonstrated qualities of leadership, excellence in character, and who have potential for effective future leadership.
At the end of the night Oswego County 4-H officially kicked off its 100th year celebration. Oswego County 4-H will be celebrating turning 100 years old throughout the 2021-2022 year. Watch for more information about the ways they are celebrating this monumental year.
The Oswego County 4-H Achievement Night was a great success. This would not have been able to be held without the generous opportunity to use the Scriba Volunteer Fire Department community room. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H program would also like to thank all the volunteers who make the 4-H program special to the youth in Oswego County. The youth in Oswego County 4-H work so hard to accomplish all their goals and the 4-H staff could not be prouder to be their educators.
