What members are saying...

4-H

by Alicia Stell, Ontario County 4-H member

We strive to better the best

And we help out the rest.

You could say that we’re the future

And behold a lot of responsibility.

But all we do is nurture

Our homeland and community.

We farm family land]

And give a helping hand

And since we’ve been shown the way

We help others everyday.

We look at life like a seed

Give it the right foundation

And it will succeed.

Over the years

You watch us grow

And become better human beings.

4-H just goes to show

We’re made of success you’ll soon be seeing.

As I get older

And go onto my career

I’ll be proud to say

4-H got me here.
