The Belfry High School gym recently hosted rehabilitated birds as part of the Pike County 4-H, a school fair held to reward members for their work throughout the school year.
The fair at BHS was the second of five held scheduled for the county during the week.
Novella Froman, the 4-H agent for the county, said members from the Belfry area elementary and middle schools attended the fair.
“The students choose a project at the beginning of the school year, and those who complete their project, or give a speech, get to come to the fair,” Froman said.
School chapters enjoyed group activities that emphasized the values of the four H’s: Head - managing and thinking; Heart - relating and caring; Hands - giving and working; and Health - being and living.
