Last night, 4-H students Isaiah Pulido and Patricia Henderson stepped into a 4-H lane by stepping outside and simply looking up!

During the rare Northern Lights display, these Lincoln University Cooperative Extension 4-H youth captured breathtaking photos of the celestial show lighting up Missouri skies. 🌈✨

The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) happens when charged particles from the sun collide with gases in Earth’s atmosphere, creating glowing ribbons of color that dance across the night sky — a reminder of how science and nature work together in beauty and wonder. 🌍💫

Keep exploring, learning, and shining, Isaiah & Patricia — you’re what is all about! 💚

“Fresh harvest. Fresh energy. ✨

Our LUCE-STL grow tower produced 2 pounds of kale this week — and our young growers made it happen! 🥬🙌🏾 Together, we’re learning how growing your own food can strengthen a community, one leaf at a time.” s/o to Miss. Tomielle Lane for Nursing and managing the progress.

🌱 AHHH, the sound of teamwork in action!

Last week, our 4-H participants got their hands dirty and learned all about **container gardening** with LUCE’s Master Gardener, Mrs. Irene Williams.

If you’ve been thinking about it… now’s the perfect time to **sign your student up for 4-H today! 🚀💚
