La Farge School District - Home of the Wildcats

The juniors attended a College and Career Fair today at North Crawford High School. Students heard from Shawna Nelson, the CEO of Organic Valley, then had the opportunity to attend four career sessions and meet with representatives from various colleges and workplaces. The kids had a great day!

It will soon be time for our celebration event in our physical education program, All funds raised by students will be due on Monday, March 30th.

All proceeds directly support our elementary PE program and will be used to purchase new equipment such as youth basketballs, soccer balls, gator skin balls, kickballs, soccer goals, and more to enhance student experiences and opportunities. Please note that this fundraiser is for the PE program, not the weight room.

Students can earn prizes based on their fundraising efforts, including items like NeeDohs and LEGO sets. Our celebration event will feature grand prize incentives such as:

Duct taping Mr. Southworth to the wall.

Congratulations to our local spelling bee participants and to our two winners, Riley Nemec (1st Place), and Delanie Nemec (2nd Place).

These students competed against forty-four 4th-8th graders from many area schools in Western Wisconsin. Riley finishing 4th is one of the best finishes La Farge has ever had! Amazing job!!!
