🍀Thank you Josh 🍀
We appreciate you and all of our Pottawatomie County 4-H volunteers

Josh Grundmann 🍀 of Pottawatomie County is making a difference by empowering young people to grow as leaders and take ownership of their 4-H experience.

Through his guidance and encouragement, youth are given the opportunity to develop skills, support one another, and step into leadership roles with confidence. Josh’s impact can be seen in the way young people rise to the challenge and continue to grow.

"After a few years, youth begin leading and supporting each other—that’s when you know it’s working."

Thank you, Josh, for helping 4-H members lead, grow, and make a difference. 💚

🍞At county council on Monday Madison Maddox led a bread workshop. 4-Hers got to learn an easy bread recipe by shaking together ingredients in a bag.

Save the date for our final county council of the year which is our ice cream social on May 4th! 🍀

You are probably not getting enough sleep. Nearly 80% of high school students do not get the recommended amount of sleep, which can lead to big problems. Disrupted sleep can increase mood swings, irritability, depression and make us bad at problem-solving. Sleep impacts nearly every part of us; our bodies, our minds, and our behaviors. Healthy sleep helps us regulate our emotions and allows our brain to function properly. Take steps now to protect your sleep with these tips.
• Set a realistic bedtime and aim to stick to it, even on weekends when you can.
• Give yourself 30 minutes to wind down before bed. Try a shower, some chill music, or a few pages of something you actually enjoy reading.
• Keep your routine consistent so your body learns the rhythm and starts winding down on its own.
• Try keeping your phone out of reach for that last hour.
• Watch your caffeine in the afternoon. Try to cut it off around 2-3 pm, so it's out of your system by bedtime.
• Skip late naps if you can. Napping after 4 pm can throw off your body clock and make it harder to fall asleep at night.
