On Monday, May 18, La Farge Schools will recognize students in several different organizations at the annual Fine Arts Banquet. Students in grades 9-12 who are in Art, Music, Math Club, FCCLA, NHS, Student Council, Forensics, and Drama will receive awards and honors that evening.

The event begins at 6:00 p.m., but the gym will be open beginning at 3:30 p.m. for anyone interested in viewing the art show.

As a reminder to students being recognized, this is an awards and special honors event, and is a “dressy” affair. This is your night to be honored, and you should look the part. Caps/hats, ragged jeans, flannel shirts, etc., are not appropriate for an event such as this. Please dress appropriately.

Your advisors look forward to honoring the “Best of LHS.”

Sincerely,

Alison Benson – Art Instructor, Student Council Advisor
Karen Fowell – Music Instructor
Becky Gehrke - Student Council Advisor
Amy Lund – Drama Coach, Forensics Coach
Ashley Palmer – FCCLA Advisor
Curt Parr – Forensics Coach
Heidi Rastall – Math Club Coach, NHS Advisor

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re so grateful for the incredible learning experiences happening in our school every day!
From charcuterie boxes crafted by Mrs. Palmer's morning classes, to maple syrup sourced from Village Park trees and produced by Mr. Fowell and his students, to seed packets generously donated to share—these moments highlight the creativity, dedication, and impact of our teachers.
Thank you for inspiring students and bringing learning to life in meaningful ways. We appreciate all that you do! 🍎🌱

Our 8th grade students had an incredible experience at the Visual Arts Fest in De Soto! 🎨 During the event, they had the opportunity to hear from a talented stained glass artist, gaining insight into the creativity, skill, and process behind this unique art form. Inspired by what they learned, our students put their own creativity to work by designing and creating three different art pieces influenced by stained glass techniques. We are so proud of their creativity, focus, and willingness to try something new. It was a fantastic day of learning, inspiration, and artistic growth!

A big "thank you" to the Vernon County Promotion Committee for their donation of Go-Gurt for snack time!
