Here is Ithaca's Peg Durkin.
This is my 33rd year at Ithaca. I am now teaching art to some of my ‘grandkid students’! I’m also a third generation Ithaconian. My grandmother graduated from the first Ithaca High School in 1923. I’m also a third generation teacher. My actual journey began in the little town of Astoria, Oregon… The home of the Goonies! (of course they made the movie after we moved) My father was a fisheries research biologist for NOAA and our family lived all over the Pacific Northwest. I am the last of seven kids. I live on my mother‘s farm that’s been in our family for five generations with a menagerie of critters.
‘Squatch out’ for a great year 🙂

"The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back." Wendy Wunder
I was a Bulldog for one year in 3rd grade, and it changed my life. My name is Juli Thompson. My mom grew up in Keyesville and is a Bulldog, her dad was a Bulldog (Class of 1936), her brothers are all Bulldogs, and many of my cousins are Bulldogs. You'll see one of us at nearly every Ithaca event. That pride, that sense of belonging is why I wanted to bring my family back to the area after meeting my husband Brad, and living in Minnesota for over 20 years.
After moving back almost ten years ago, I started at Ithaca as a Middle School Track coach, then a substitute, then a paraprofessional, and now I am the Library Media Specialist. You'll find me in the library, but also at High School Track meets where I am assistant coach, Forensics contests coaching, all the music and art events I can attend, and athletic events cheering on my own Bulldog.
I'm also a radiographer (x-ray tech), which is what I did in Minnesota and still do at Sauk Prairie Healthcare on occasion. I obtained my bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in Health Management with a focus on process improvement, then trained to earn a substitute teaching license, and now working toward earning my license as a Library Media Specialist for public education. My husband Brad is a paramedic, our oldest son is a student at Southwest Tech, and our youngest is a junior at Ithaca.
We welcomed my uncle, a Vietnam veteran home from his Badger Honor Flight trip this summer, and it was one of the most important events I have felt a part of. A huge group of our family surprised him at the Dane County Airport. Support our veterans for all they have made possible for us. Some gave all; all gave some.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 four flights were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists at various airports in the United States; subsequently the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC were struck by three of the hijacked planes. The passengers and crew of the fourth plane, Flight 93, fought the terrorists resulting in the plane crashing in a field in Pennsylvania, killing all onboard, but ultimately sparing many other lives by diverting it from hitting the Capitol building in Washington DC.

Hello! My name is Meghan Amos and I am the new Middle School Science and ELA teacher. I am a first year teacher, freshly graduated from UW - Platteville. I grew up in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, which is just South of Milwaukee. Safe to say, the rural lifestyle is very new to me, but it is something I've always admired. Happy to be here and be part of the Bulldog family!

Autumn Bultman - 1st Grade
I was raised in Whitewater, WI. From there I attended Edgewood College for 2 years, playing soccer and track while attending, then transferred and graduated from UW-Platteville and later Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School. A fun fact about me is that I hold my high school record for most soccer goals scored within a single season, with 25 goals. Over the summer I traveled out West to Jackson Hole, WY. I currently have 3 adopted heelers, 2 adopted cats, 3 horses, and a lot of chickens! This is my 5th year of teaching, but first in the district. I look forward to being apart of the Ithaca community!
