Join me in congratulating Adelena on her top 10 WI Key Award recognition!

🍀🏆Congratulations to 2026 Wisconsin 4-H Top 10 Key Award winner, Adelena Hartjes!

Adelena graduated from Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids. She is attending UW-River Falls, majoring in Animal Science with a focus on Dairy Science and Pre-Veterinary Medicine. She is a 13-year veteran of Badger 4-H and grew up on a family-run replacement heifer farm. She loves working on the farm and hanging out with all her animals. She has been active in theatre, choir, FFA, National Honors Society, and 4H. She is an avid reader and writer, drawn to stories because they help us understand lives beyond our own. Whether she is watching Lord of the Rings or writing her own work, she believes stories build empathy and connection. She loves Taylor Swift and lyrical genius. Some people say she’s loud–but she just loves life.

At 11:15 WI time, 4 4-H'ers on the DC Learning Journey will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I will livestream it here.
