Once again, the 2021-2022 Achievement Day Service Project will be can pop tops! Remember that you can start collecting can pop tops now! All clubs will turn in the pop top donations at Achievement Day. All proceeds will go to the Ronald McDonald House in Memphis, Tennessee. Many children and their families from St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital use this location. Please feel free to get the whole school involved and put out collection jars if you would like to make some. Please note that Achievement Day 2022 has not been confirmed at this time. However, we are still having the service project contest regardless and all pop-tops will be due on March 25, 2022.
The 2021-2022 Achievement Day Theme is “4-H is as Nice as Rice!”. The theme was created by Sean Myers from Church Point High School. Sean will receive a monetary award at Achievement Day. Congratulations!
