SCHOOL BULLETIN BOARDS

Creating a 4-H Wildlife Stewards Bulletin Board is an excellent tool for promoting the 4-H Wildlife Stewards Program to students, teachers, parents and community members who visit the school. 4-H Wildlife Stewards Bulletin Boards help promote the program by:

  • Keeping the school community updated on the progress of the project
  • Letting others know how to get involved and help with the project (Remember: the more people you can get committed and involved with this project the more likely your project can be sustained over time)
  • Recognizing and rewarding student achievements by displaying their work
  • Recognizing and rewarding outstanding contributions or achievements by volunteers, teachers and community partners; and
  • Educating the school community about the importance of managing our natural resources wisely; and
  • Announcing times and dates of work parties, celebrations, etc.

Check with your school principal about designating a specific bulletin board in the school for the 4-H Wildlife Stewards Project. Ideally, this bulletin board should be located in a place where parents, students and teachers can see it every day. Near the entrance of the school is an ideal location.

4H Wildlife Steward Bulletin Board

As a 4-H Wildlife Steward volunteer, you don’t have to do this alone. This is a wonderful job to assign to another parent in the school or one of your Habitat Team members.

To prepare your bulletin board the following MUST be included:

  • 4-H Wildlife Stewards Recognition
  • Oregon State University Extension Service Recognition
  • Contact number for Wildlife Steward or Teacher in charge of habitat.
  • Contact number for more information on the 4-H Wildlife Steward program in general

Check with the 4-H Wildlife Stewards office to get already printed colored 4-H Wildlife Stewards and 4-H logos to use for your bulletin board.

Some fun things to include in your bulletin board are:

  • Bird, Insect, Plant of the month
  • Photos of students in the habitat
  • Student works i.e. poems, drawings, observations, wildlife inventories
  • Fun facts for students to know
  • Lots of eye-catching color

Any creativity you can muster depending on space available!
