The High School Student Council has started to recognize the outstanding high school students we have here at La Farge Schools by starting the 24K student! A 24K student is as good as gold! 24K students are high school students that have been helpful, shown acts of kindness, or have been a good student or classmate. This weeks 24K students are Hayden Benson, Natalie Marron and Audrey Wirts. Congratulations!
Happy Earth Day! Earth Day is a day to celebrate the natural world and how we can protect it. Earth Day was started 51 years ago by a Wisconsin senator and is now celebrated by millions of people across the world. In the spirit of the holiday, our After-School Club kids went on a walk to pick up litter today. Good job!
Shout out to our 6th grade Battle of the Books team, who placed 2nd yesterday in the Mississippi Valley Gifted & Talented Network’s regional competition. The girls worked hard to answer questions from a list of 50 books!!
A huge WILDCAT THANK YOU to the True Value Foundation and Nelson's Agricenter of Viroqua! This partnership awarded La Farge Schools a Health & Safety Kit through the Educational Heroes Safety Campaign.
"True Value Foundation (TVF) is focused on helping youth succeed with tools and resources to achieve their potential. Our children's greatest resources are their educators and school staff. To ensure they get their best educational experience under these trying circumstances, everything possible must be done to keep our educators and school staff safe. "
The kits will include hand sanitizer, germicidal cleaner and painters tape to mark social distancing, helping protect those educators and staff serving our youth.
