We want to give a shout out to the La Farge student and staff participants of this year’s Viroqua Community Theater’s production of Mary Poppins. The show was a huge success and we would like to recognize the efforts of those involved. Dan Heitman, elementary support staff, played the role of Admiral Boom, Deb Michaels, elementary music/interventionist, played horn in the pit band, and sophomore Carissa Nemec was one of the members of 5*6*7*8 Dance who participated in numerous dance scenes. Congratulations to all of them on a “practically perfect” performance!

Seven Spanish Club students and four adult chaperones just returned from a trip of a lifetime to Costa Rica with EF Tours!
Some of the highlights were whitewater rafting, ziplining, a crocodile boat tour, attending a folklore evening and cultural dance performance, swimming at the beach and in hot springs, an aerial tram tour of the rainforest canopy, hiking to the bottom of a waterfall, harvesting our own pineapples, learning the process for making chocolate from the cacao plant, spotting monkeys, sloths, macaws, toucans, iguanas, and other critters in their natural habitat, making new friends, trying new traditional foods, and experiencing the Costa Rican way of life firsthand.
Pura Vida!

This past week Gweny Walker participated in Badger Girls State. American Legion Auxiliary Badger Girls State (ALABGS), is a program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, and is a week-long government and leadership conference for young women in their junior year of high school. ALABGS is a practical civics conference that allows students to learn about state government by actively participating in it. Attendees of the program learned by doing as they became citizens of a mythical fifty-first state, the state of Badger, and functioned according to the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
