The Coveted Kelly Green Blazer

As noted in my previous post, we had a very busy summer filled with family, friends, hard work and a few sprinklings of fun, and accomplishments.  However, there is one accomplishment that I thought needed its own post.

The accomplishment of earning a 4-H Kelly Green Blazer.

Do you know what it means?  Do you know why that is such an accomplishment?  

Yes! Songbird applied for one of the five 4-H State Ambassador positions - and got it!

Her duties as a State Ambassador began in early August with visits to some of eastern Montana's county fairs, a radio interview and a planning meeting in Bozeman.  The 2015-16 year will be busy for her as she and her teammates plan state events, workshops, 4-H congress, and become the faces of Montana's 2015-16 4-H program as they meet with businesses, youth, legislators, philanthropic citizens, and others across the state of Montana.

As a home educator, I am also proud that Songbird is one of TWO home schooled students on the 2015-16 State Ambassador team.   - Go Home School!
