The 4-H club is an active club in which students in grades four (4) through eight (8) may participate.  4-H is an extra curricular organization that focuses on making each member the best that they can be in areas of Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.  Members participate in project work such as food, nutrition, clothing, child development, personal development, computers, environment, as well as livestock.  Members earn the opportunity to develop leadership skills, citizenship, as well as earning recognition through numerous parish and state contests.  Membership is open to all students.

Because the 4-H club’s success depends on every club member doing their part, all club members must adhere to the following rules.

1. Members must attend all scheduled monthly 4-H meetings.

2. Members must assist in planning and participating in club activities (school supported projects, contests, community service projects, club socials, etc.) and programs for the year.

3. All members must turn in requested materials and project books in a timely manner.  The school leaders will inform club members of dates and deadlines of projects.  Any requested materials turned in after the deadline will be returned to the club member and withdrawn from consideration.

4. All members showing animals at the Acadia Parish, District and State Livestock Shows must inform their classroom teachers at least one (1) week in advance of show dates (if dates fall on a school day).

5. Any questions or activities involving the RCE 4-H club must be presented to and approved by the RCE club leaders.

Consequences:     If a club member chooses to break a 4-H club rule or misrepresent the club in any way, the leaders will issue a warning for the first offense.  Continued disregard for club rules will result in the member being removed from the club.
