With the end of Term 1 at Washington Middle School, 22 8th grade Health students participated in a social and emotional enrichment program called “Mindful Teen: From Surviving to Thriving in a Busy World”. This curriculum comes from Iowa 4-H and was delivered once a week on “Wellness Wednesdays” by Washington County Extension & Outreach youth coordinator Amy Green.

The Washington County 4-H Club First Tech Challenge team, the Eaglebots, is currently seeking new members who have an interest in programming, robotics, marketing and communication. Members of the First Tech Challenge teams must be in 7th-12th grade. The group is excited for the year connected to the national First Tech organization and their challenges for competition. Participation in this club will allow for youth to grow in the areas of team work, problem solving, robotics experience, and communication skills – all while making new friends with youth from across the county.
