The Lower Cape May Regional High School 4-H Club always starts its year off with a” Critter Fest” at our school’s Haunted High School. Club members bring in their unique animals to show and teach the little ghosts and goblins, play some games and give out candy.
This year the Lower Cape May Regional High School 4-H Club was very busy with a plethora of community service activities. Starting in December with our Christmas Child Shoe Box stuffing assembly line. Club members collected fun items for girls and boys ages 5 to 9 to place in shoe boxes that were sent to children in poverty stricken countries around the world.
In March we began work on our school vegetable garden located in a courtyard at our school and were harvesting beautiful, delicious strawberries by May. We also added to our Honey Bee garden and will be planting gourds to make birdhouses in the fall. The students also helped build garden planters and help mulch a new community park in West Cape May. We hope to help complete the area and hang bird houses there in the fall.
In early spring some of our 4-H’ers taught a lesson on Beekeeping to their classmates and teachers from other classes and to a local Brownie Girl Scout troop.
What an exciting year! The 4-H club at LCMR HS always enjoys what they do throughout the year but this year was an exceptional year for service to our school and community.
