In 3rd grade this week, we are continuing to learn about the genre of fairy tales and the elements that make them. Students are working hard using story maps to write their own!
A few of our students had the unique opportunity to participate in a job shadow experience at WKBT News 8 today! Thank you so much to Anchor/Reporter Amy DuPont for giving us a tour and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the many jobs available in the media field.
Second Grade enjoyed writing Persuasive Letters last week! Students wrote to parents, Mr. Hansen, or Mrs. Jacobson trying to persuade them to do something. It was very entertaining!! ✏️
Good Morning!
Spring means the La Farge Schools 5k Run/Walk on the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is fast approaching. The event will take place the afternoon of Friday, May 13th.

Please send your child to school that day in appropriate clothing with a reusable water bottle. Any questions can be directed to Mr. Slack.

Congratulations to all 8-12th grade musicians who participated in our Large Group Music Festival in Westby today. The 8th grade band received a 1 rating in the middle school class level of music. The high school choir received a 1 rating in class B and the high school band received a 1 rating in class A, the most difficult level of music for school bands across the state! Your hard work and dedication really paid off!🎺🎼🎷🎹🎤
The Kindergarteners have been working hard learning about plants this Spring. To celebrate their hard work, they joined fourth grade in a fun hands-on project; planting their very own plants! The kindergarteners had so much fun extending their learning and getting messy along the way. They are also practicing responsibility as they tend to their plants daily!
La Farge Musicians are preparing to head to State! The trumpet choir, clarinet choir along with soloists Hayden Fowell, Kyle Degner and Abigail Schreck are heading to Viterbo on Saturday to perform at the State Solo and Ensemble Festival.🎼🎺🎷
These La Farge Elementary 5th Graders are “On a Roll”! They all improved their GPA by at least .5 points from the 2nd to the 3rd quarter. Great Job!
