  • District Spirit Stick Competition

    4-H University may not be happening in person, but we still want to see your district pride! Florida 4-H invites each district to submit a district report focusing on what they accomplished throughout this past year. How the information is reported is up to the creativity of each district. Videos, PowerPoints, infographics, well-designed reports, and anything else you can think of will be accepted. District reports are due to sderby.sale@ufl.edu by July 1st. The top-scoring district will be announced at the July 30th 4-H University Live broadcast and be awarded with Florida 4-H’s Spirit Stick. This year’s competition will focus on the different elements of the report.

    The score sheet can be found here. Watch Facebook Live!
