EXCITING
OPPORTUNITY FOR 4th-12th graders
Learn
more about healthy pets and healthy people, earn prize money
and
be recognized at other local venues.
4-H'ers
will develop posters that creatively depict all of the following
five points:
- Animals
carry germs that can make people sick.
- Always
wash your hands after leaving an animal area or touching
animals.
- Never
eat, drink or put anything in your mouth while in an animal
area.
- Contact
with animals or their environment can result in injuries
and allergies
- Older
adults, pregnant women, and young children should be extra
careful around animals.
The CDC
& NASPHV guidelines provide lots of information for 4-H'ers
to use in learning more about these points. Try this website
for research information and details for creating posters.
