Despite strong competition from several schools, Oak Hill Elementary again topped the charts in Newton 4-H this year.

Spring fever has hit, and we're only weeks away from the long days of summer.
4-H'ers qualify for state BB gun tournament
I spent Saturday morning sitting on the back of a pickup at the Walton County Agricultural Center, listening as the 4-H'ers and parents sat around in safety orange T-shirts waiting on each shooter's turn.
Kimble: 4-H'ers place at District Project Achievement
Forty-five Cloverleaf 4-H'ers in the fourth through sixth grades competed at District Project Achievement this year.

They presented in club meetings, at County Project Achievement and at District Project Achievement.
Kimble: 4-H seeking tax-deductible donations

Kimble 4-H: It’s here! It’s here!
It's here! It's here! The ESRI box's here! The ESRI box's here!
4-H 4-Ever: Don’t underestimate a homeschooler
Homeschoolers aren't social. Homeschoolers only study what they want to learn. Homeschoolers don't learn structure. You've probably heard someone say such things. I overheard a group discussing the topic, but couldn't find a nice way to correct them without admitting I was eavesdropping. There are statistics I could quote, but my experience comes from working with public, private, and home school students in 4-H. I see as many "non-social" kids in public school as home ...
Kimble: Make the best better
I look forward to the day when we tell new 4-H'ers and employees about "the year they tried to kill 4-H."
Join my Christmas mission
I've wished for a white Christmas so many times it seems unreal that it may actually happen today.
Join our revolution of responsibility
You've seen me write it before: youth aren't tomorrow's leaders.
You won’t shoot your eye out!
"Ralphie, what would you like for Christmas," asked the mother in "A Christmas Story."
Fall 4-H wrap up
Surely I heard the countdown incorrectly: There can't be only 22 days until Christmas…
There’s no present like time
"There's no time like the present, and there's no present like time," sings David LaMotte in his song, Deadline. There's a lot of truth to that, whether we're talking about preparing applications or considering the busy holiday season.
Thankful for being simply American
Enquiring minds have been asking since my last column if my 5-year-old cousin ever decided who celebrated Thanksgiving with the pilgrims if it wasn't Indians or Native Americans.
Building a legacy for Georgia
On my trip to Arizona, I bought one of those little beaded necklaces with a beaded doll like you find in Cherokee, N.C.
The magic of good literature
By fifth grade I felt like I had exhausted the entire Palmer-Stone library.
Take a risk on adventure
It turns out that nothing can prevent me from being amazed at the sight of the Grand Canyon.
Dream big anyway
We all tumbled off the bus and rushed over to the railing to see what we could already hear: Niagara Falls.
A call to leadership
Do you know a sophomore or junior in high school who shows leadership potential?
Since 1904, we are Georgia 4-H
Our youth are not tomorrow's leaders. They are not tomorrow's teachers. There is no magic line on the stage floor at graduation in high school or college which you must cross to become "today's leader." That's because they're already leaders and teachers.
