The Cherokee County School Board has renewed one-year partnership agreements with the American Cancer Society and Cherokee County 4-H Program.
The Cancer Society agreement lets the nonprofit use without charge a high school track and football field, including restrooms and lighting, for the annual Cherokee County Relay for Life event. The school district also agreed to promote participation in the relay by school system teams, and to disseminate Cancer Society materials.
The 4-H agreement lets the organization use district buses for day and overnight trips to public speaking competitions, summer camps and classes, leadership forums and state 4-H events; and of school property for its annual awards program, rabies clinics and other functions.
The 4-H, in turn, will provide a monthly educational program to fifth-and six-grade students (38 programs currently are conducted); provide after-school programs at Teasley, Freedom, Mill Creek and Woodstock middle schools; and conduct monthly night 4-H council meetings, a monthly 4-H horse club, and a weekly 4-H Project SAFE team.
