The LaFollette Capital Fund

It was one year ago that La Follette High School held a well attended re-dedication of the August Vander Meulen auditorium to celebrate the renovation of the seats that was funded solely by the La Follette Capital Fund. The auditorium was full of parents, students, alumni, donors, faculty, and school and Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools officials to celebrate and recognize this accomplishment. Thank you for your help in making this possible. The renovated seats are fantastic looking, comfortable and provide a refined look to the auditorium; a job well done by Designer’s Choice Upholstery, owned by Don Severson (class of 1977).

We continue to raise funds to cover the remaining costs of the auditorium seat renovation as well for new projects. We will work with classes that have summer reunions and also alumni, community leaders, and other supporters. Although we have completed the seat renovation, we are continuing to sell seats with a dedication to a student, family member, teacher or friend on an engraved brass plaque.

There are several new projects that we are hoping to support. They include equipment for World Languages, smart board teaching tools for the Math department, and improving the lighting capabilities in the August Vander Meulen auditorium.

We have a new option available for current and future students at La Follette High School. You can purchase a seat plaque to honor your son or daughter and pay using the installment plan, so that by the time your student graduates, they will have a seat in his/her name. Here’s how it works:

• Freshman student: 4 payments of $60 each, one payment made each year of high school

• Sophomore student: 3 payments of $75 each, one payment made each year for 3 years

• Junior student: 2 payments of $110 each, one payment made each year for 2 years

• Senior student: 1 payment of $200 (no installment plan)

Each payment made will result in your son/daughter’s name being listed in the glass display case next to the Vander Meulen Auditorium. When all payments have been made, a beautiful brass plaque will be placed on one of the auditorium chairs with the inscription of your choice.
