Dear Educator,
You are invited as a school teacher, Day Care, Head Start

to consider 4-H Enrichment Programs for part of your curriculum
or youth activities.
The programs described here are only a few of the
educational programs offered through the Hughes County
Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service. These programs use a
variety of methods to reach youth and each will add to a child’s
life through home, school, church, or other meeting.
All 4-H programs are designed to help youth develop by
involving parents and other interested adults who organize and
conduct learning experiences, whether they are learning a life
skill or an academic subject. Oklahoma State University and the
Hughes County Cooperative Extension Service provide these pro-
grams through 4-H Youth Development efforts.
By working through the Hughes County 4-H Extension Ed-
ucator, you will find out how to use and borrow these programs.
The Extension Staff is available as a resource to meet your needs
and assist in your educational programs.
The completed order form provided with this leaflet
should be returned to the Hughes County Extension 4-H
Educator. To be sure to receive lessons when you want them,
schedule them as far in advance as possible. Some programs have
to be ordered from OSU.
THANK YOU for the work you do with area youth!

ment, young people can be prepared for challenging experienc-
es, for independence, and exhibiting generosity while mastering
skills and knowledge. T.A.G. provides a flexible yet structured
method for participants to interact with the concept of pro-
