ALL CLASSES:  4H speech winners from each class should be receiving their invitation in the mail for the 4H County Competition.  Please understand that this is highly competitive and time-consuming, but it is a wonderful experience for the students.  Students who arrive and register earlier will speak earlier, and you may leave after speaking if you need to.  Judging and awards are made that evening, so this often runs quite late.  Students who attend will receive 100 extra credit quiz grade. This is the information in the letter:

Congratulations!  As a winner of the local school contest, your child is

4th  1-2 minutes
5th   2-3 minutes
6th   3-4 minutes

contest will begin promptly at
6:00 pm.  Your family members and friends are welcome.

After all speeches are made in their respective grade  level competitions,
winners will be announced and ribbons presented.  Trophies for 1st, 2nd and
3rd place winners in each grade will be awarded at the 4-H Recognition
Banquet in December, 2009.
