De Soto Area School District Thanks Community for Supporting Referendum The De Soto Area School District would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to our communities for supporting our recent operating referendum. We understand that asking our residents to make an additional investment in their local schools is never something to take lightly. We recognize that everyone has their own financial circumstances and that this was an important decision for our taxpayers. The support shown through this referendum means a great deal to our students, staff, families, and communities. Over the past several months, many people took the time to attend informational meetings, ask questions, visit with school representatives, share information with friends and neighbors, and have conversations about the future of our schools. We appreciate every one of those efforts. Most importantly, we appreciate everyone who took the time to vote and make their voice heard. While we are certainly grateful for the outcome, we also recognize that this comes with a responsibility. We have work to do, and we are committed to making thoughtful decisions, being responsible with taxpayer dollars, and using these resources to support the educational opportunities and programs our students deserve. One thing I have always appreciated about the De Soto area is the sense of community and the people who genuinely care about the future of our schools and our children. This referendum was about more than a financial decision. It was about working together to provide opportunities for our students and making sure our schools remain an important part of our communities. On behalf of our School Board, administration, teachers, and staff, thank you for your trust, your support, and your willingness to invest in the future of our students. We are fortunate to be part of these communities, and we are excited about the work ahead. Thank you for believing in our schools and, most importantly, in our kids!

Third Grade held mock elections on November 3rd. Students learned about the political candidates running for state governor and Congress. To encourage students to form their own opinions, we used colors instead of candidates’ names. Students explored some of each candidate’s campaign goals and practiced being respectful, anonymous voters. This was a great opportunity for students to learn about the election process and the importance of being informed and respectful voters!

Congrats De Soto Volleyball!

We would like to thank the La Crosse Area Builders Association for another donation through the Tools for Schools program. Each year, they reach out to multiple schools in the region and hook us up with awesome products to further our programs. This year, we requested and received a movable scaffolding to help with building projects. This program has helped us keep tools current to what students will see on the jobsite. Thank you LABA for all you do for the trades in the La Crosse area!
