4-H is an organization that teaches today's youth leadership, citizenship, and life skills through fun and interesting activities.  Paulina has a history of excellence when it comes to the 4-H program. This club is sponsored by Mrs. Jennifer St. Pierre and Ms. Lori Louque. Members are expected to meet the requirements listed below. Any 4-H'er that would like to attend the fun end-of-the-year 4-H activities, such as Achievement Day and 4-H Camp, must complete the following.

1. Join by completing the beige enrollment card in your “Welcome to PES” folder.  Please include a $15.00 enrollment fee, which covers the $5.00 entry fee to St. James 4-H Foundation and the $10.00 club t-shirt. This card must be completed and returned with funds by Friday, September 22^nd.  

2. Members must attend at least 4 of the monthly after-school meetings. All meetings will be held in the cafeteria from 3:30 until 4:30.  The meeting dates will be posted on the school’s monthly calendar and a notice of all dates will be sent home as soon as they are confirmed.

3. Members must participate in a club fund-raiser.  We have not yet determined our fund-raising choice.  You will be notified in advance as soon as decisions have been made.   

4. Members must participate in various events and projects at PES. Leaders will keep track of all events and activities. Students with the highest participation will be asked to attend 4-H Camp over the summer.

5. Members must complete a project book (which includes hands on activities).  They will be asked to bring one of their completed projects to a club meeting to be judged by the agents. 

6. Members must attend a minimum of one outside activity. Outside activities include events that are run by the St. James Parish 4-H agents. Some examples include Pet Show, Livestock Show, Food Fest, Fashion Fun, and much, much more. Events will be discussed at meetings and will be listed in the monthly 4-H newsletter.
