4-H Frontline - University of Tennessee Extension

My Next 4-H Meeting:
Note to 4-H Parents
We are happy that you have a 4-H’er in your family! 4-H is a youth organization that provides fun,
educational experiences to many children around the world. In Maury County, all 4th and 5th grade
students are enrolled in 4-H and participate in 4-H clubs that meet during school hours. 4-H also
offers many optional experiences including summer 4-H camps and 4-H Project Groups that meet
afterschool.
We know that behind a successful 4-H’er stands a 4-H parent providing encouragement, support,
and guidance. We hope you will encourage your child to participate in 4-H activities, afterschool
project groups, and 4-H camps. If you are interested in being a 4-H Volunteer or have any other
questions, please email us or call us at 931-375-5301.
