DAMASCUS MIDDLE SCHOOL 
Damascus Middle School Students Awarded in 4-H “Share the Fun” Program Damascus Middle School 4-H members held their annual “Share the Fun” talent program during their regular December club meeting. Nineteen members from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades performed. Talent acts included instrumental, variety, drama, dance, and vocal. The youth were awarded points in the following areas: chosen material, talent, audience response, creativity, showmanship, and their costume and props. This program builds self-esteem, communication skills, and creativity, while giving members a chance to show off their special talents.  Recipients of blue ribbons in sixth grade were Ryder Hicks and Khloe Orr in Drama, and Karma Bolen, Logan Griffin, James McCune, Levi Moretz, and Kyndra Rouse in Instrumental. Blue-ribbon winners in seventh grade were as follows: Autumn Clevinger in Variety and Lydia Reid in Instrumental. Eighth graders who received blue ribbons were the following: Emma Godfrey, Payton Long, and Autumn Surber in Dance, Brody Thomas in Drama, and Jacob Harris and Levi Parks in Instrumental. Aiden Lawson, Emma Linkous, Ethan Murray, and Melissa Ort also participated in the program. Blue-ribbon winners may represent Damascus Middle School at the county competition in March.
