Each summer, our small community comes together in support of youth with a large scale summer ball league. Many of our students, from preschoolers playing tee ball, to incoming high school freshmen playing competitive 14U baseball and softball, participate in this summer program. We welcome the participation of children and families that live in other communities as well, and often have families who do not go to school at La Farge join us for Summer Rec.
Practices start the morning after the last day of school, and for the entire months of June and July, players come together on our ball fields for practices or games. Our community is greatly supportive - it is not uncommon for our baseball grandstand to have people on every step, with spectators standing behind it - while just two blocks away, our softball bleachers are at capacity, and the lawn behind it covered in lawn chairs and picnic blankets for families and fans.
For our small rural community, this program provides community-based summer programming for children aged 3 - 15 who develop skill along with sportsmanship and leadership through hard work and being part of a team as they grow throughout the program. We thank all of our players, families, coaches, and supporters!
To One Community Bank - thank you for being supportive of Wildcat Summer Baseball and Softball!

Last night was our first distribution of weekly summer Meals to Go! Many families picked up meal packages for their children, and we've gotten great feedback about the volume and variety in the bundles! If you'd like to sign up for summer meals to go, please sign up at the link below.

Dear Families,
La Farge Schools is excited to announce an exciting extension to our Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for this summer! The SFSP provides free, nutritious meals to children 18 years old and under. We have historically provided summer meals to children during summer school only.
Now with a new Meals-to-Go program, we are also able to provide free meals for children to take home to eat when school is not in session!
We will be providing boxes of 7 breakfast and 7 lunch meals per week per child, available to pick up from school.
The meals will consist of a combination of shelf-stable and perishable foods that will need to be refrigerated and/or frozen. The sample menu below will give you an general idea of what the weekly meals will consist of.
Each week’s bundle will include the menu for the following week, along with storage and preparation instructions. This information will also be posted on our website. The menus are planned to provide well-balanced, healthy meals that meet the nutritional and energy needs of children.
Please note:
Children do not need to be enrolled in La Farge Schools to participate in the program.
No proof of income is required- this is for all interested families.
The person(s) listed on the sign up form must be the person(s) picking up the meals.
Meals will be provided to all children without discrimination.
Please contact Susan Egge at egges@lafarge.k12.wi.us or 608-625-0135 to discuss special dietary needs.
Distribution will occur once a week at La Farge Schools from 4pm - 6pm. To pick up the Meals-to-Go for your child or children, you MUST sign up ahead of time by completing the short survey at this LINK.
