Ithaca Schools hosted a live virtual author and illustrator event recently, and Honor Flight - Celebrating America's Veterans author and illustrator, Jeff Gottesfeld and Matt Tavares, were the featured guests. With other nationwide schools participating, our Bulldogs listened to the author and illustrator discuss inspiration for their work, the process involved, their own experiences as Guardians on an Honor Flight, and the importance of sharing veterans' stories. They even answered our own question live! We also hosted service dog, Denver and his handler, Lori. A big thanks to them for coming, too! Denver and other Custom Canines assist veterans going on Honor Flights. Their next mission is this Saturday!
To prepare for this book talk, Mrs. Thompson presented background information of Honor Flight Network, war and veteran memorials at the National Mall in Washington, DC, some brief facts about our nation's veterans population from each war, and read the book aloud.
Ithaca is preparing for our own area veteran, Mr. Richard Wastlick, who will be our honored guest speaker during next week's Veterans Day Program. He will share details of his Badger Honor Flight experience. Parents, guardians, and community members - especially area veterans! - are welcome to attend. The program begins on November 11th at 1:30 pm in the High School gymnasium.
If you would like to learn more about Badger Honor Flight, sponsor a veteran's mission, write letters, or welcome veterans home from these missions, browse their website at https://badgerhonorflight.org/ or the national network website at https://www.honorflight.org/. A special thanks to Mrs. Preuss' 5th graders for assisting with setting up for and cleaning up after the book talk.

As if Red Ribbon Week, and Halloween festivities weren't enough for our elementary students this week, we also kicked off our new Community Reader Fridays initiative at Ithaca. Community Reader Fridays is a program created to give our students the unique opportunity to connect with different members of our community, learn about their different roles, and listen to them share stories, whether it’s a favorite book from their own childhood or a children's story they love reading today.
We would like to sincerely thank school board member, Marty Richards, and our school administrators for stepping up as our very first guest readers, and look forward to hearing from school board member, Mandi Brown when she comes to read at a later date. Seeing leaders in our district take time out of their busy schedules to read to our students sends the needed message, reading is a lifelong joy, no matter your age.
If you would like to be one of our "Community Readers," we would love to welcome you into our classrooms! Please contact Heather Dickey at heather.dickey@ithaca.k12.wi.us. or 608-585-2311 for more information.

A huge thank you to the Ithaca Bulldog Booster Club for treating our staff to goodies last week, and for bringing so many smiles to our students with the Boo Bags! We are very grateful to have such a supportive, generous Booster Club in our corner. Thank you for making our school day extra special!
Our young Bulldogs really showed up and showed off their creative sides this week, taking a strong stand to be drug free and make healthy choices for Red Ribbon Week! We closed out our week of dressing up on Thursday filling our halls (and of course classrooms) with a sea of Bulldog Purple for Drug Free Bulldog Heroes Day. Then kicked off Friday with a Drug Free Dance Party in our classrooms, and dressing in costumes to celebrate Drug Free Looks Like Day.
Just a reminder to our families, Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug abuse prevention awareness program. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of guiding our children toward healthy, positive paths and empowering them to stay drug free. Parents and guardians, thank you for your incredible support throughout this week! We encourage you to keep the conversation going at home and talk with your children about making good choices, staying safe, and living healthy, drug free lives.

This week, our Bulldog students and staff joined schools across the nation to celebrate Red Ribbon Week! Since 1985, Red Ribbon Week has been dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of living a drug-free, healthy life.
We have been having a blast showing off our commitment to healthy choices with the fun dress up days! We kicked off Monday with PJ day (what better way to start the week, right?) Tuesday, students and staff were asked to dressed as their Real Life Hero or Trusted Adult and they blew us away with their creative outfits! While we had future firefighters, teachers, and farmers walking the halls, a HUGE group chose to dress up as their biggest everyday heroes, their parents and family members! Wednesday we all made our pledges to live healthy, drug free lives by filling our halls with a sea of red! Stay tuned for more of our Red Ribbon fun!
