Buffalo County 4‑H is proud to announce that Julia Jardine has been selected as the 2026 Wisconsin 4-H Key Award recipient, one of the highest honors a 4-H member can earn in the state.
Julia, a 10-year member of the Hilltop Climbers 4-H Club and a senior at Mondovi High School, has demonstrated exceptional leadership, responsibility, and service throughout her 4-H career. Her involvement spans projects including art, photography, child development, and food, where she consistently challenged herself to grow creatively and personally.
Beyond her project work, Julia has made a lasting impact through her community involvement—volunteering at the Buffalo County Fair, Dairy Breakfast, Safety Day, and a variety of service-learning initiatives with her club. She also broadened her world through the American Spirit Trip, gaining independence, teamwork skills, and lifelong memories.
The Key Award is presented only to outstanding 4-H youth who show consistent growth in their involvement, meaningful leadership, and active participation in their club and community. The award was presented to Julia on March 22, 2026, by Patty George on behalf of the Buffalo County 4‑H Leaders Association.
Please join us in congratulating Julia on this well‑earned achievement. Her dedication to learning, leadership, and service truly reflects the spirit of 4‑H.
