Smile

What makes Laylah Scheiter smile? “My family,” said the 9-year-old Noblesville resident, a fourth-grader at Hinkle Creek Elementary School. She is the daughter of Jamie and Josh Scheiter and is among eight siblings. In July 2022, she was found at the 4-H Fair, where she was a first-year Hamilton County 4-H’er and was volunteering at her H&H 4-H Club’s candy booth. Favorite projects? Photography and Cake Decorating, for which she earned blue ribbons. She made a heart cake using “huge hearts” and stars. What she learned from Cake Decorating? “How to use stuff when I’m decorating stuff.” She volunteered at her club’s Fair booth with her mom and siblings, Lucy, 9, and Brayden, 12. Why did she join 4-H? “ I joined 4-H because it looks fun, and people are nice to you.” Today we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, which is recognized by the shamrock, a three-leaf clover associated with Ireland. And a bit of trivia: A similar four-leaf clover is the 4-H emblem and one of the most highly recognized logos in the world and has a white “H” on each leaf, signifying “Head, Heart, Hands and Health” in 4-H. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
