The School District of Thorp has long benefitted from a strong relationship with local businesses, families and organizations over the years, but is now taking it one step further. The district is utilizing a bold new plan to drive community action to provide much needed school supplies for students. The goal of the district in 2026-27 is to create Self-Sustained Student Model, which would eliminate traditional out-of-pocket school supply lists for all families with children in grades 4K through 6th grade. To ensure this program becomes a permanent fixture, the school district is working on creating a partnership with the Thorp Chamber of Commerce and Thorp’s businesses through monetary contributions or the equivalent of in-kind product donations.
The Thorp Catholic School is proud to announce that one of its own was recently ordained a deacon in the Catholic Church through the Diocese of La Crosse. On Saturday, June 6, Bishop Gerard W. Battersby ordained Mr. Patrick Conley, along with five others, into the Order of Diaconate.
