Last weekend, the Cloverleaf Project Achievement event showcased the talent and hard work of local 4-H participants. Held at Georgia Highlands College, this event is one of the most significant programs offered by Georgia 4-H, designed to engage students in grades 4-6 in hands-on learning and public speaking.

Cloverleaf 4-H’ers were tasked with selecting a project area of interest, conducting thorough research, and presenting their findings to peers and judges. This enriching experience helps foster self-confidence and encourages participants to share their knowledge in a supportive environment. The competition kicked off at the school level, with several students advancing to the county competition, where they showcased their hard work and dedication.

First place winners were Presley Aycock, Rosalee Hammond, Asher Mills, Annalise Troyer, Lorelai Hinton, & Daniel Moseley.

Among the standout participants, Zayden Helms, Ezra Welles, Audrey Dillard, Betsy Juarez, Avery Adams, Cooper Bierkamp, and Donovan Bell proudly earned 2nd place in their respective presentations. Sarah Thomas secured an impressive 3rd place finish, showcasing her skills in a highly competitive field. In addition to the top finishers, several students received honorable mentions for their exceptional presentations, including Laney Dodd, Brandon Gilbert, Layton Chisolm, Casen Williams, Angie Nguyen, Sunni Dodd, Kami Carter, Lani Willingham, Elijah Gordon, Diwan Shredtha, Nicole Housch, and Sienna Adams.

The Cloverleaf Project Achievement not only highlights the remarkable abilities of Chattooga County’s youth but also emphasizes the importance of community support, as volunteers and teen leaders played a pivotal role in guiding the kids through this rewarding experience. Congratulations to all participants for their hard work and dedication!
