The future of Washington County 4-H looks bright as an active group of 3rd grade Clover Kids celebrated their graduation during the 2025 Washington County Fair. This fall, they are all invited to join the Washington County 4-H program as 4th graders! 27 3rd graders participated in the graduation ceremony where they received a special diploma and cap. Each graduate was announced by their Clover Kid club leader. This year, a total of 49 3rd graders participated in the Washington County Clover Kid program.
Clover Kids are youth in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade who traditionally meet once a month with their club to play games, experiment, craft, and explore in non-competitive ways. Washington County has nine Clover Kids clubs with more than 150 active members this past year. For more information about Clover Kids or 4-H, please contact the Washington County Extension Office, 319-653-4811. Follow “Washington County 4-H — Iowa” on Facebook.
