Congrats, Dr. Engel, on being named 2027 Wisconsin Superintendent of the Year by the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators (WASDA)! Dr. Engel's collaborative partnership and focus on what matters most for students and staff are an important key to LPEF's impact on La Crosse Public Schools and we're grateful for his leadership!

At La Crosse Longfellow Middle School, students had the chance to work alongside La Crosse artist and La Crosse Logan High School alumnus Chase Gentry to help design and create a new mural for the outdoor classroom on the Redfield Street side of the building. Inspired by the landscape of La Crosse and the character of the school's students and staff, the finished mural brings a new sense of place to a space where students learn, explore, and connect.

Working with a professional artist gives our students a window into the creative process. They get to ask questions, test ideas, solve problems, and see what it takes to turn an idea into something real. They also get to know an artist who grew up in their own community and see where creativity can lead.

A project like this takes a community, and we have some big thank-yous to share. To art educators Amoreena Rathke and Clint Grabhorn for dreaming up this project and their dedication to getting it across the finish line. The La Crosse Public Education Foundation generously funded the project through a Gold Star Grant, helping bring this opportunity to Longfellow students. And Chase Gentry deserves a huge round of applause for months of work, collaboration, and care to carry this project from the first concept to the finished mural.

From the first sketch to the final brushstroke, this project shows what can happen when talented people share their skills, students have room to create, and community partners invest in the next generation.

🍎 The Golden Apple Awards are back!

Every day, the people who make up our La Crosse Public Schools — teachers, administrative assistants, custodians, bus drivers, educational assistants, nutrition services staff, technology services staff, administrators, and so many others — show up for our kids. They help create a sense of belonging, safety, and possibility in spaces and places all across our district.

The Golden Apple Awards, now in their third year, honor these moments of impact. In partnership with the La Crosse Public Education Foundation (LPEF) and the La Crosse Education Association (LEA), the program recognizes staff members who inspire students to create a safe environment where everyone feels they belong and can pursue their dreams and aspirations.

There will be two nomination periods this year, semesters 1 and 2, with the same focus: celebrating those who make a difference in the everyday lives of students.

⭐️ Help us recognize the people who make our schools thrive.
Submit a nomination for a staff member who has made a positive impact on your child, family, or school community.

➡️ Nominations for the first semester are open now through Thursday, November 20, 2026.

Submit here: https://www.lacrosseschools.org/golden-apple-awards/

Let’s take a moment to lift up the people who quietly and consistently make great things happen for our students every single day.

More pictures and stories regarding Literacy Under the Lights at La Crosse Logan High. This event was supported by a grant funded by community generosity. It's safe to say it was a huge success! 🥰 🏈 📖

More than 100 young readers filled the stadium last night as La Crosse Central High School and La Crosse Logan High School football players came together for the first-ever Literacy Under the Lights. For one night, the football field became a place for books, stories and connections.

High school football players read with our students in fifth grade and younger, shared their love of reading, and helped each student choose a free book to take home. Our youngest students got to spend time with older students they look up to. Our high school students got to lead, encourage, and be positive role models for the next generation of La Crosse Public Schools students.

And the night gave us something even bigger. Central and Logan came together not as north side and south side, but as one district and one community, focused on creating something special for kids.

Our schools have deep traditions and plenty of pride, and that’s something worth celebrating. Literacy Under the Lights gave us a chance to build on that pride while bringing our students together around a shared purpose of helping kids discover the joy of reading and showing them that they belong to a community that believes in them.

We’re grateful to organizer and Spence Elementary School teacher Jocelyn Buxton, all of the volunteers who helped make the night possible, the Central and Logan football teams, the La Crosse Public Education Foundation and Altra Foundation for their generous support, and every student and family who joined us.

This is just the beginning. We hope to make Literacy Under the Lights an annual tradition, alternating between Central and Logan each year so more families can be part of it.

One night. Two football teams. More than 100 young readers. One La Crosse Public Schools community. ❤️

La Crosse Public Education Foundation is proud to support students at all grade levels through Random Acts of Kindness.

What staff are sharing with LPEF....

"One of our students started the school year without glasses. Her last pair broke over the summer, and her parents couldn't afford to replace them. Because of RAK, we were able to order the glasses she desperately needs to read. She walked down the hallway telling everyone who would listen, "I got new glasses! I can see!"

It makes my day when I can meet a student's need, with the help of LPEF!"
