News and Announcements

MLK-Day-of-Service-with-4H-Garden-Club-January-19-10amOn MLK Day, Richmond County 4-H is honoring Dr. King through service, stewardship, and soil. We’ll be prepping the garden for spring planting—cleaning beds, laying groundwork, and getting our space ready to grow food, flowers, and future leaders. This day is about doing the quiet work now so the harvest can come later. 🌿 Why it matters: “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Come ready to work, learn, and grow together. This is how we turn service into impact and seeds into hope.
