2018 Kentucky Saves Piggy Bank
Design Contest
The Kentucky Saves Piggy Bank Design Con-
test promotes creativity in youth in designing/
creating their very own piggy bank, as well as
provides youth with information about money
management. The county winner (the student
with the most votes, voted by community
members) will have their piggy bank judged
alongside other county winners on December
13th. Two district winners will be chosen and
displayed at the capitol in the month of
February. 1st, 2nd and 3rd
place winners will
receive a monetary reward.
On Thursday, October 5th, Casey County Farm Bureau held their annual meeting at the Pork Producers Building. During the meeting, the 4-H Country
Ham Project participants were given the opportunity to auction off their hams to the community. John Wayne Kessler from Kessler Auction & Realty auction-
eered the event. Chloe’s ham was purchased by Casey County Bank; Makayla’s ham was purchased by Woodrum Brothers Farm; Presley’s ham
was purchased by the Casey County Pork Producers. The total donations from the ham auction are divided 80: 20; 80% of the total profit is divided evenly
between the eleven country ham participants and 20% goes to the Casey County 4-H Program to support future
program. The Casey County Farm Bureau auctioned off an additional ham for $350. Thank you to all who came out to support
the Casey County 4-H Program!
The 4-H Teen Club had a busy month in October! The club met on October 10th to work on their achievement applications and plan future events and activities. The club set up at Tractor Sup-ply Company on the 13th to sell beef sticks and collect donations for the Paper Clover campaign. Club members met on Saturday, October 14th for our Canoe & Escape. Members spent time on Lake Liberty and did some lake clean-up while there. The club traveled to Somerset, ate dinner at Steak n’ Shake and then went to breakout at Mindscape. The club met again on October 16th to bake cookies and cupcakes to sell as a fundraiser at the middle school.
On October 13th, Casey County 6th grade students participated in the Teen Talk Program held at Jones Park Elementary. This program is
designed to provide beneficial information to students prior to entering middle school. Students participate in small group discussions focusing on personal hygiene, dental hygiene, suicide prevention, anti-drug use, anti-bullying, and healthy relation-ships. Each student is provided with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant.
The 6th grade discussed the im-portance of listening and participat-ed in an activity that tested them on their listening skills. They also worked as a team to create then unknot a human knot.
One important part of 4-H In-School Clubs is the election of club officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Recreation Chairman. Each officer has specific responsibilities each time their club meets throughout the year. We have a total of 88 4-H school club officers. To recognize our officers for their leadership, Casey County 4-H hosted a 4-H School Club Officer Reception. A couple of our officers spoke about what they are responsible for during club meetings. 4-H Officers were presented with a certifi-cate and a few 4-H items. Congrats to all our 4-H School Club Officers!
The 4th grade discussed ways in which we can take better care of our envi-ronment. They learned about where our trash goes and how to reduce the amount of trash put in a landfill. Each 4th
grade classroom has been provided with an extra bin specifically for recycling and were challenged to recycle paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, cans, and glass bottles in school.
The 5th grade learned about mak-ing SMART (specific, measure-
able, attainable, relevant, timed) goals. They set personal health goals and financial goals and participated in a 30-second challenge where they set personal goals to reach.
