Yesterday was our annual Giving Back from the Heart Program.
Once again, the La Farge Lions Club teamed up with students at La Farge Schools to show support for needed projects, programs and individuals in the community and area. The Lions Club donated $200 to each class (Pre-K through grade 12) at La Farge Schools. Each class was able to decide to donate the $200 in the name of their class to an individual, family, program, or project of their choice. This “Giving Back From The Heart” concept allows the Lions Club to help the students at La
Farge Schools to become involved with various needs in their school and
community. The Lions Club will write out the checks to whatever entity the
students and classes decide to support.
This year, every class at La Farge Schools chose to donate their money to Amanda Nemec and family. Additional groups donated extra money as well, the middle school student council, the music department, high school student council and the FFA.
You can watch the program at the link provided.
Thank you to the La Farge Lions Club for giving our students such a great opportunity.

A group of junior students have been voluntarily meeting every Wednesday at 7:00a.m. to improve their vocabulary, practice time management, and fine-tune their knowledge in preparation for the ACT and life beyond high school.
We are proud of the dedication and extra mile that Wildcats go to prepare for a bright future!

Congratulations to the 5th grade, fastest class of La Farge Elementary! Each quarter, grades 1-5 run as many laps in 5 minutes as they can. Then we divide the number of laps ran, by the number of students in the class for their lap average. The 5th graders came out on top and get to display the Fastest Class trophy in their classroom for this quarter.
We would like to thank CROPP – Organic Valley for the very generous donation of hats, mittens, and socks! These items will definitely be very useful as we continue through winter! The students and staff are very appreciative!
Mrs. Jacobson’s 2nd graders created their Valentine bags! We are working on showing love and kindness all the time but especially on Valentine’s Day next week!
