Our 2nd graders have been moo-ving through an exciting journey with the Discover Dairy “Adopt a Calf” program! They've been learning all about the growth, health, and care of their adopted calf, along with the ins and outs of the dairy process.
To top it off, we had the amazing opportunity to tour Waukon Dairy between Ada and Mahnomen, MN! The students got a firsthand look at how a dairy farm operates—from the milking process to how the cows are cared for each day. And the cherry on top? Getting to meet and cuddle the sweetest baby calves!
A huge thank you to Waukon Dairy for hosting us and giving our students such a memorable and educational experience! What an incredible operation!

Hello,
My name is Spencer Ruebke and I am the Elementary Principal at Hillsboro Elementary. In the month of March, we participated in DEAR reading, dress up days, and book drawings. These were fun ways to celebrate reading month. We will begin our final round of testing in the month of April. With testing, I always like to encourage students and families to have a healthy breakfast and get in a good sleep routine. Various field trips will take place as the weather gets nicer this month. The fire department is coming in to teach the students and give brief tours of the trucks and equipment. Thank you HFD. More fun things like elementary track and field day will be coming in May, which we have tentatively planned for May 15th. Please continue to have your child read every night at home. We look forward to the fun and busy times that spring brings at the elementary school. Thank you so much!
