The students ate lunch together and then learned about the Red Cross, the Wounded Warrior Project, the VFW, the Air Force, and service dogs through different stations. Students were also able to explore military vehicles and try on military uniforms.

As the school year winds down, I must take time to thank the Tomah community- businesses, organizations, and individuals- who have donated their time, energy, money and other resources to our school district. I speak on behalf of the Board of Education, our teachers and support staff members, and our students when I state that your contributions are valued and appreciated. Our community demonstrates the essence of what Lillian Katz, a Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Illinois, believes when she stated, “Each of us must come to care about everyone else’s children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people’s children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. If one of our children is harmed by violence, someone else’s child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life for our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people’s children.” Click the link below to Read the Full Story...

Leveraging Technology to Enhance Student Learning

Teachers all over the Nation are changing the way they are teaching by leveraging the use of technology to enhance their students' learning. Research is showing that students do not need their teacher present during "direct instruction" (lecture). The crucial time for teacher-student interaction is during the practice and implementation of the concepts students are learning. Unfortunately, with traditional teaching methods, students are typically asked to practice and apply what they are learning at home, often causing them to become frustrated and give up when they don't have the help or assistance they need. By "flipping" their classrooms, teachers can now use technology to pre-record their lessons and have students watch them as homework. This allows students to obtain and process the concepts at their pace and view the material as many times as they need to in order to understand. While in class, teachers use valuable class time to help students practice and apply the concepts with the assistance of their teacher!

Fact Of The Day

LaGrange Elementary School has its own school store, where students are given the opportunity to purchase supplies, such as pencils, paper, and folders. The store is maintained by our cognitively disabled students with the help of Mrs. Shellie VonRuden. The store not only provides all students the chance to purchase needed materials, but also assistances to teach life-long financial skills.
