Yesterday, Olivia Herken, a Class of 2015 alum, spoke with Ms. Lund's AP US Government class about the role of media in politics. Libby is currently a reporter with The Cap Times in Madison, covering state government and local politics.
A huge THANK YOU to our La Farge families for supporting our Elementary PE Wildcat Challenge! Because of your generosity, 25 students helped raise an amazing $2,308, all of which will stay right here in our school to purchase new PE equipment and enhance student opportunities.
The event was a big success, with students staying active across 7 different stations and taking on fun school-wide challenges like hula hooping, jump rope endurance, and the thunder stick challenge.
We also had some unforgettable moments... Braxtyn Kastner (Mr. Southworth’s TA) got pied by Evan and Makenna Palmer, and Mr. Southworth himself got taped to the wall… only to have the stool pulled out from under him by John and Kallie! Dawson Benson also took home the grand prize LEGO set!
👏 Top Fundraisers:
🥇 Dawson Benson
🥈 Makenna Palmer (tie)
🥈 Evan Palmer (tie)
🥉 Kallie Wilkin (tie)
🥉 John Young (tie)
We are so proud of our students and grateful for the continued support from our community. Thank you for helping us build a fun, active, and healthy environment for our kids!
