School Enrichment Programs
The Darke County 4-H School Enrichment program is designed to integrate life science, agriculture and STEM programming into elem
entary classrooms.
We provide hands-on science activities tied to Ohio’s Academic Content Standards. These activities enable you to bring Science Alive for your students. Our classroom activities help students to understand and apply science concepts using a variety of thinking and processing skills.
Currently, programs are available to Darke County Schools, free of charge. All supplies are provided.
Teachers interested in scheduling one or more of these programs, should contact Rhonda Williams at williams.418@osu.edu. Programs will be scheduled on a first-come, first served basis.
