Mrs. Palmer's Multicultural Foods class is at it again learning about a new country-Australia. Their latest creation is Pavlova, a tasty, popular meringue dessert.
High school students had the opportunity to participate in a collaborative event between Organic Valley and UW-Madison today just over the hill at the OV Headquarters in La Farge. It was an informative day of college and career exploration and sharing experiences with students from other local rural schools, as well as professionals in the field of their career interests. Students completed some self-reflection activities about their college and career choices, collaborated and shared ideas with peers in a workshop setting, saw some programs of study UW-Madison has to offer, heard amazing insight from a panel of Organic Valley employees, received professional advice from CEO Shawna Nelson, and even got to sample dairy products in a sensory lab. Thank you to Organic Valley and the UW-Madison College of Agricultural & Life Sciences for hosting this incredible opportunity for our students!

Learning with a Purpose!
Students in Mrs. Floberg’s class had a special opportunity to follow along with her private fundraiser supporting the Wounded Warrior Project!
Our students have also enjoyed counting down the days until Veterans Day, making connections between the fundraiser and the importance of honoring those who have served our country. We've talked about the bravery, courage, and pride of our veterans and the sacrifices they make to protect our freedoms.
As we tracked the fundraiser’s progress, students got to see firsthand how small efforts can make a big difference. Along the way, we practiced SO many skills, including:
✏️ **Writing:** Sharing thoughts, recording updates, and communicating ideas.
➕ **Math:** Counting down days, tracking progress, working with numbers, and making comparisons.
💙 **SEL:** Building empathy, understanding service to others, practicing kindness, and recognizing the importance of giving back.
What started as following a fundraiser turned into a meaningful, real-world learning experience that connected academics with compassion, citizenship, and community.
We are so proud of our students for learning that making a difference isn't just about how much you give, but about the heart behind it!
**Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. Thank you for your bravery, sacrifice, and service!** 🇺🇸❤️

Mrs. Stahlke’s Manufacturing class has been busy in the shop! Students have been working hard to get plaques made for some upcoming orders. From planning and preparing to creating and finishing, there has been plenty of hard work going into these projects. It’s been great seeing our students put their skills to work, gain hands-on experience, and take pride in the products they create.
Over the years, Mr. Tincher has been sharing his world travel experiences with the La Farge middle school students. Recently he has traveled to Alaska, Japan and South Korea. He visited our classroom to share stories, pictures and items from his travels. Students really enjoy seeing Mr. T and hearing about his adventures!!
Middle school Spanish classes participated in one of the cultural traditions behind Dia de los Muertos: making sugar skulls!
The Junior class had the opportunity to attend Youth Government Day in Viroqua last Wednesday. Students toured the Vernon County Detention Center and attended Vernon County Court proceedings. Our students learned a lot about local government and emergency services. We'd like to extend a big thank-you to the American Legion, Vernon County Emergency Services, Judge Gaskell, and Gary Gilbertson for putting on this event!

Voting in action! Our 3rd graders had an exciting opportunity to practice casting their votes this week as we learned all about the election process. What a fun, hands-on way to learn about democracy and the importance of making our voices heard!
Mrs. Stahlke’s Intro to Ag class has been digging into our soils unit! Over the last few weeks, students have been learning all about soil composition, soil particles, and the different layers of soil. We created interactive soil note foldables, simulated different-sized soil particles using golf balls, marbles, and beads, and wrapped up our unit with an edible soil horizons lab!
