La Salle-Peru Township High School will host a community meeting from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at Matthiessen Memorial Auditorium to announce the next stage of replanting the agriculture program.

“In less than one year of having a full-time ag instructor, we’ve seen our budding program blossom, with Cavalier students taking part in major projects and events at the local and national level,” Superintendent Steven Wrobleski said in a news release. “By building a dedicated agriculture center, we will accelerate that growth while maintaining the commitments we made to our agricultural community when we decided to replant L-P’s ag program.”

All L-P families and community members are invited to attend.

According to the release, the project will be financed through school district funds, but community members and businesses also are invited to “Plant a Legacy” by making contributions toward the project.

Donations will offset the project costs for the school district and support the growth of agricultural education in the community.

“There are so many L-P alumni, community members and businesses who believe in ag education in the Illinois Valley,” Wrobleski said. “By planting a legacy in the L-P agriculture center, those supporters can ensure generations of Cavaliers will have the best opportunities to succeed and know their contribution is being recognized in a very visible way.”

The various levels of donor recognition will be detailed during the meeting.
