The Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools will focus its efforts for the foreseeable future on the achievement gap and STEAM education, according to Executive Director Stephanie Hayden.

"We just felt that it was true to our mission and our vision for all schools to be successful, and so we knew the achievement gap had to be part of our focus moving forward," she said.

STEAM refers to the traditional STEM education -- science, technology, engineering and mathematics -- but  includes the arts.

The Sun Prairie girls' basketball team continued their improbable run to the WIAA state championships following a 60-56 victory over Madison LaFollette Thursday night.

The Cardinals were the 4th ranked team in the team's sectional, but got to play this game at home.

LaFollette had the lead into the second half, with junior guard Amelia Grahn hitting long range shots for the Lancers.

But Sun Prairie got on a roll in the second half. Cardinals' star, Mckayla Yentz, was in foul trouble, but she still hits some big shots down the stretch.

LaFollette finishes the year at 19-5.
