Christine Chaney

Chaney's "4-H Clubs" is a joint venture among East Side Charter School, the Delaware Cooperative Extension, New Castle County Office, and Delaware State University that provides extracurricular activities for the school's inner-city students. Some of the activities are: planting and cultivating gardens; building benches for the gardens; creating arts and crafts projects to display at the State Fair; touring farms and gardens; planning and cooking meals; and raising small animals to exhibit. The project helps bring students, community members, staff, and parents together and helps the students develop their knowledge, skills, and self-esteem.
