Record keeping is an important life skill for youth to attain. Many Ascension 4-Hers are working hard to create, maintain and update their records through writing and pictures, which helps 4-Hers to track their activities and experiences, set and achieve personal goals and aids in building resumes and scholarship applications.

This school year, over 130 4-Hers mastered their 4-H project area by setting and completing personal and project goals, completing their 4-H projects outlined tasks, recording their efforts and achievements, both in and out of 4-H, and submitting their completed 4-H portfolios and project books for the Ascension 4-H parish record book competition. Of those participating, 26 youth earned blue ribbon awards, with 10 record books being sent on to compete in the State 4-H Record Book competition.
