La Farge Schools is thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new initiative — the development of our weight room!
This project is more than just outfitting a space with equipment — it’s about investing in the health, strength, and future of our students. A dedicated weight room will provide countless benefits, from boosting mental well-being and building confidence, to enhancing personal fitness and supporting our student-athletes in reaching their full potential. Regular physical activity has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, sharpen focus, and promote lifelong healthy habits — and now, we’re making that opportunity more accessible than ever.
This project will be completed in phases in order to purchase initial equipment and continue to add and develop the weightroom with additional equipment.
Together, with the help of our great supporters, we’re creating a space where every student can grow stronger — in body and mind. Join us as we build a healthier, stronger La Farge!
Phase 1 consists of:
1) 14' rig /2 half rack system with storage between the unit
2) Two tip up multi bench units
3) Two bars and supporting bumper plate products
Totaling: $7,000
Phase 1.5: FULLY FUNDED!!! (Thank you Justin's Lawncare!)
Rubber flooring for protection of equipment and the area: $1,200
Total for Phase 1 & 1.5: $8,200
Total Raised: $1,200 as of 10/1
If you are interested in financially supporting this project, there are two ways to invest! First, a general donation toward the project, or individuals and businesses can fund an entire station. All donors will be recognized in the weightroom, those donating an entire unit will have their name/business on a plaque next to the equipment donated.

Rep. Johnson enjoyed a guided tour of our campus, and then met with 4th graders from La Farge Elementary and Kickapoo Valley Forest School in our sunny courtyard. Rep Johnson and the students discussed Wisconsin history and what its like to serve as an elected official in Wisconsin. Each student received a sticker, and each classroom received a laminated map of Wisconsin and a brand new Blue Book! Published biennially, the Wisconsin Blue Book is a valuable source for information about the State of Wisconsin.
Thanks to Representative Tara Johnson for visiting us!
