8 Broadcaster Press May 1, 2018 www.broadcasteronline.com State 4-H Leaders Sponsor Financial Assistance BROOKINGS, S.D. - The South Dakota 4-H Leader's Association annually sponsors financial assistance for youth wanting to attend 4-H summer camp programs. "The South Dakota 4-H Leaders are proud to sponsor these scholarships each year. The yearly camps allow youth to meet new friends, experience new culture, learn new things, and have a lot of fun," said Donna Bittiker, SDSU Extension State 4-H Program Director. The many opportunities include: 4-H Camp at Lake Poinsett; 4-H camp at Camp Bob Marshall near Custer; Performing Arts Camp in Aberdeen and the Teen Leadership Conference in Brookings. Thanks to the generous support of the South Dakota 4-H Leader's Association 4-H members can apply for $25 in financial assistance to attend 4-H Camp at Lake Poinsett or Bob Marshall or $50 for participation in Teen Leadership Conference or Performing Arts Camp. When 4-H members apply for scholarships, they agree to share their camp experiences with one local group if they attend 4-H Camp or two local groups if they attend Teen Leadership Camp or Performing Arts participants. "Participants can share their 4-H club or a civic group," Bittiker explained. Participants will receive their scholarship after they submit their application. Scholarship application details Scholarship application forms are due by December 31, 2018. Forms can be found online. The registration deadlines for the summer opportunities are drawing near. Please follow these steps: Step 1: Register for the 2018 camp and pay the full camp fee. Step 2: Attend camp Step 3: Tell a group about camp •For the $25 4-H Camp scholarship one group •For the $50 Teen Leadership Camp or Performing Arts Camp scholarship, two groups. Step 4: Complete the camp assistance/ scholarship application form complete with necessary signatures and submit to the South Dakota 4-H Leaders Association. Step 5: All youth who complete all steps will receive scholarship within 2 weeks of its receipt. The South Dakota 4-H Leaders Association raises these funds for scholarships through two State Fair dances held Saturday and Sunday night during S.D. State Fair and through the sale of 4-H attire at the Leaders Booth in Nordby Hall during State Fair. Both of these activities receive volunteer assistance from many of the 4-H leaders and parents throughout the state. For The Summer Reading Challenge By First Lady Linda Daugaard Now that it is starting to feel a little more like spring, students are looking forward to summer. The family vacations, camping trips, picnics and baseball games will soon begin and our children will get a well-deserved break from their studies. One thing students should not take a break from, though, is reading. When I was a librarian, I came to realize just how crucial reading is to child development and learning. Children who read regularly tend to be better writers and speakers. Unfortunately, as a nation we haven’t been performing very well in reading. In 2017, only 47 percent of American students who took the ACT met the Reading Benchmark. Knowing that nothing inspires like a little competition, I’m issuing a challenge to students across the state. I’m calling on schools to participate in the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge, which is a free, 18-week online reading program designed to help students turn the “summer slide” into a “summer leap.” Next school year, the Governor and I will visit the school that logs the most Scholastic summer reading minutes and present that school with the winning plaque. The Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge is open to students in all 50 states. To participate, students must be registered by a teacher, public librarian or community organization leader. Once registered, students can begin logging their summer reading minutes. Students can unlock digital rewards as they complete weekly reading challenges. Last year, for the second year in a row, Castlewood Elementary School logged the most minutes in South Dakota. I hope Castlewood will compete again this year. I also hope many other schools will join the competition and give them a run for their money! Summer reading is very important. Whether or not they participate in the Scholastic Summer Reading challenge, Dennis and I hope students across the state will find a good book to enjoy this summer. We’re looking forward to reading some new books too! To learn more about the reading challenge, visit scholastic.com/summer/home/.
