Lamorinda 4-H member Madison Gruebele, earned a Platinum Seal for her cultural arts presentation, "Tinikling: Filipino Bamboo Dance," at the 2016 California State 4-H Field Day that was held at UC Davis on May 28.
To advance to the state level, Madison earned gold medals at the County Level held in February and the North Central Section Level held in March. Madison chose Tinikling as her topic because of her Filipino heritage and love of dance. During her two years in Lamorinda 4-H, Madison, a fourth-grader at Rheem Elementary School, said she has learned a lot about community service, animals, sewing and public speaking. In addition to 4-H, Madi enjoys playing piano and viola, dancing, and reading.
