Another Successful Week

The past three weeks here at the Fayette County Extension office has been amazing. Words can not express how grateful I am for this experience. Since day one I have hit the ground running from finishing up after school programs to planning for summer events this summer.

Last week brought many adventures. Monday we had our monthly 4-H staff meeting to ketch up with all the events from the 4-H agents. Tuesday rounded out babysitting clinics for the school year.

Wednesday was our district staff meeting where I got to meet all the staff in the district. Also Roger gave a touching retirement recognition at the end of the meeting which brought many people to tears. Right after the meeting we taught Skills to Pay the Bills to a group of young individuals who are seeking summer employment. Right after that program end we hit the road and drove to North Central for an Environmental Camp. That night and the next day was amazing. I got to know a bunch of the campers during my team building exercises where we did pass the egg on the spoon and a blindfolded obstacle course. It was interesting how each team developed a plan and communicated together. Also at  camp we got to dissected owl pellets and piece together the bones of the specimens. After piecing everything together they got to identify what the owl ate. Lastly they glued the bones on a piece of paper and got to take them home.


Still in camp cloths that afternoon we finished the day making biscuits and homemade butter at Leestown Middle with the cooking club. Another successful week as an intern, can't wait for what is to come for the rest of the summer!
