Sloan Hendrix PTE will host a guest speaker, Katrina Burch, from the County Extension Office at our next PTE meeting on February 16th. Katrina works in the Family and Consumer Sciences Department for Lawrence County Cooperative Extension Service. Life is full of questions, come learn how the Extension Office can help. The Family and Consumer Sciences Department is an integral component of the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture-Cooperative Extension Service. The department is a vital link that connects the resources of the university to citizens in the 75 counties across the state. The Family and Consumer Sciences faculty and county extension agents work collaboratively on programs aimed at making life better, healthier and safer for individuals and communities in four broad areas: food and nutrition, health and aging, marriage, parenting, family life, and financial management. The Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service offers its programs to all, come see what they have to offer our school, you and your family. The meeting will start at 6:00 pm in the Sloan-Hendrix elementary/middle school library.
