Family and Community Education

Jackson County FCE Creed

To maintain the highest ideals of home life; our children are the most important of crops. We are to guide them so that their bodies may be sound, their minds clear, their spirits happy and their characters generous.

To place service above comfort, to let loyalty to high purposes silence discordant notes, to let neighborliness supplant hatred, to be discouraged never.

To lose self in generous enthusiasm, to extend to the less fortunate a helping hand; to believe one’s community may become the best of communities and to co-operate with others for the common end of a more abundant home and community life. This is the ideal the Extension Service offers to the homemaker of today.
