It was a wonderful day and the teachers had a great time getting to know their students better as well as the parents/guardians that were able to join them.

High school art students are exploring all different mediums this first quarter. (The medium is the tool the students use to create their pieces.) We’re dabbling in charcoal, clay, watercolor and pencil, to name a few. Art helps the students with refining fine motor skills, decision making, social skills and a bit of risk taking while enjoying the process of creating.
We are celebrating Wisconsin School Board Week by appreciating our own dedicated School Board.
Thank you for all you do on behalf of the students and staff at La Farge Schools, and the community we serve!

Events for Monday, October 3rd.
Each week the 4K students learn a new letter and do a project to go along with it. Before making the project, the students have fun trying to guess what they will be making by saying things that begin with the letter. Last week they learned the letter S and made a snake. These kinds of activities are important because not only are students working on their letter sounds but they help enhance their fine motor skills and their creativity.
