4-H needs your help
While Newton 4-H can always use donations and volunteers, there are often in-kind items or specific skills we could use to benefit youth.
Kimble: 4-H a great way to make friends
I lived for 4-H events as a child. Bullies and stereotypes were things I associated with school, but never a 4-H event. We danced, we made new friends and we accepted each other. It also meant I had friends from everywhere, and started classes at UGA with friends in nearly every class while many of my old high school classmates looked lost. A few weeks ago, we were excited to have a 4-H'er from south ...
24 hour log of a typical camp day
It's 12:20 a.m. Friday morning. We woke up at 6:20 a.m. here in cabin 55 at Rock Eagle 4-H center.
Health Rocks! camp a success
Watch out Covington - there are some really talented watermelon seed spitters here. Granted, my favorite part was seeing the look on children's faces when they were handed a slice of watermelon and told it was OK to spit the seeds as far as possible. 4-H Health Rocks! Day Camp is always an adventure. It's planned by the youth and adult 4-H Health Rocks! ambassadors with the help of other 4-H teen leaders and volunteer ...
Kimble: Get the kids off the computer and out for some fun

Kimble: Rotary experience: it’s a small world after all
We had the opportunity to travel thousands of miles in the largest Rotary district in the world, while our Group Study Exchange counterparts toured north Georgia, including Covington. I met hundreds of people along the way, and experienced Australia in a way few people have the opportunity.
A passion for service found in Western Australia
I've met people who surely would have been 4-H'ers if only it existed in Australia. At Mirrabooka Senior High School this week I visited a dance class where the students take turns leading warm ups and each present a demonstration about a ballroom or social dance. As the first students began their explanation of a traditional bush dance, I thought I was in for a real treat to see an Australian dance. I was more ...
Kimble: School not so different abroad
"I want to go to school in America." Every student I meet seems determined to come to the U.S. to go to school. Apparently, all our schools are just like a Disney or Nickelodeon show, according to kids here.
Kimble: America as seen by Australian youths
"What do you wear to sleep?" "Why do all Americans drink from red cups?" "Have you met Michael Jordan?" "How many Sasquatches are in Georgia?" "Are you rich?" These questions were all real questions asked by the Australian youth during our trip so far. The last four seem to be based on television shows and movies, although I'm still not sure about the first one. Maybe he thought we all wore pink footie bunny pajamas ...
Kimble: Throw a snag on the barbie
We crossed the International Date Line and the equator, and so far have traveled nearly 40 hours by plane. I'm still no fan of Vegemite (I tried Mighty Mite, which is supposed to be less strong), but the rest of Australia is incredible.
Kimble: Greetings from the future
I'm feeling a little like the ghost of Christmas future - I'm 12 hours ahead of you! Actually, I'm writing this from the Chicago airport as we await the next leg of the trip, but by Sunday I'll be adjusting to the land down under.
Kimble: 4-H spring roundup
Cheap Tickets Spring is a busy time of year for 4-H'ers, with many of our competitive teams heading off to district and state competitions. We're also preparing for summer activities and camps, so it's not too late to come in and get in on this year's fun. We have events available for everyone from age 9 all the way up through high school. Additionally, the Newton 4-H office sells the cheapest Six Flags and White ...
