Week 9 in Story County Region 17

Hi everyone, welcome to week 9 of the blog!📷 Rising Star Intern Jasmine Williams started off last Friday by volunteering at Beloit Donation Garden by harvesting and taking squash, kale, broccoli, and garlic to Food at First. From Monday to Thursday, Rising Star Interns worked on their final document and presentation to prepare to present to the Deans of their colleges. On Tuesday, Jasmine and Emily went to Beloit Donation Gardens to harvest strawberries, green zucchini, and yellow zucchini, but were sadly pushed out by the rain, but they persevered! Jasmine and Emily ended the week by providing an educational program at Cultivating Hope Farms, teaching the youth about the importance of healthy hydration💧and exercise 💪. Lastly, we want to give a special shoutout to Jasmine Williams, Emily Plagman, Colter Lauersdorf, and Donovan Olson for receiving pre-application approval for the 4 H forward grant!! 🎉🥳They will all take the next steps into writing out the full grant for submission and wait for the final results. Wish them luck 🍀!
