A Hero ...
In 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby
stopped by a Bronx barbershop after school for a haircut. Before long,
one of his students came in. He looked a little antsy and bored, and
Irby remembered thinking the child would probably have a better time
with a book. That moment stayed with
Irby, and he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the
nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children’s books to more
than 200 barbershops in predominantly Black neighborhoods across the
country. Literacy rates among Black students have been distressingly low
for decades, and the pandemic didn't help. Irby is working to change
that, but not by helping children practice phonics or decode words.
While he acknowledges those skills are essential, his approach is
different: He wants to encourage boys to read for fun, on their own.
It's 4-H time in Indiana ...
As shown a year ago, I received permission to share photos of the 4-H competition. My thanks to my cousin Katha's daughter, Alana for sending me pictures and info on her grandchildren's entries.
Abbi’s 3 projects that are going on to State Fair. Flowers, Weather

Jackson wants to learn all this too… so he took things for the Open Show as he isn’t old enough yet to be in Mini 4-H(K-2) He won Sweepstakes with the purple petunias.
He had helped Gma plant them & water them with his squirt gun! 
Thanks Alana!
Thanks Alana!

4-H didn’t have Wearable Arts as a State project, but since she was Grand Champion this year she gets to go to the State Fair in General Arts& Crafts. 🍀
