On behalf of the faculty and staff at the Ithaca School District, School Nurse Tiffany Bingham would like to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding CPR, AED, and First Aid training the City of Reedsburg Ambulance team provided to us on October 12th, 2026.
We deeply appreciate the time, expertise, and patience your instructors brought to our school. The hands-on practice and clear instruction gave our teachers and staff the confidence and skills needed to respond effectively in a medical emergency. Partnering with dedicated professionals like you makes our school—and our entire community—a much safer place. This training helps extend the number of hands-on certified staff to half of the district employees. Training such as this strengthens not only our commitment to student and staff safety, but also that of our surrounding communities. There is no way to predict when CPR is needed, but we have community members ready if the need arises.
Our thanks is extended to everyone involved in organizing and leading this training. We are incredibly grateful for your service and look forward to continuing our partnership in the future.
Pictured are instructors Kevin Rockweiler and Abby Reuter. Thanks again!

On Thursday last week, the Richland Fire Department visited our elementary Bulldogs for an exciting morning of learning and demonstrations on Fire Safety. Students learned about home safety plans, practiced their "stop, drop, and roll techniques," saw full firefighter gear up close, and took a tour inside a real fire truck! Did you know that Mr. Coenen’s son actually helped build the fire truck that visited us that day? How cool is that?!?
The Ithaca School District would like to thank the crew at the Richland Fire Department for keeping our community safe and spending time with our Bulldogs Thursday morning!

National Red Ribbon Week is October 23rd-31st! Ithaca will observe this awareness week, which focuses on drug misuse prevention and making healthy choices, during the week of October 26th-30th. This year’s theme is “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.” We will be hosting dress up days, announcements, trivia and door decorating contests, and activities for all grade levels. Awareness is key to keeping our students drug free!
National School Bus Safety Week is October 19th–23rd, but our Bulldogs are already way ahead of the game!
Earlier this month, our students participated in our annual School Bus Safety Drills. Our older Bulldogs stepped up as fantastic leaders, partnering with our younger students to make sure everyone loaded and unloaded quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, safely!
Seeing our older kids mentor and look out for the little ones was the absolute best part of the day. We are so proud of our students working together to keep every journey to and from school a safe one!
A quick safety reminder for our community this week. Always stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Leave extra space for students entering or exiting the bus, and finally…Keep eyes on the road and put away all distractions (yes, even the cell phones) near bus stops. Let’s keep working together to keep our kids safe every single day!
Earlier this month, our students participated in our annual School Bus Safety Drills. Our older Bulldogs stepped up as fantastic leaders, partnering with our younger students to make sure everyone loaded and unloaded quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, safely!
Seeing our older kids mentor and look out for the little ones was the absolute best part of the day. We are so proud of our students working together to keep every journey to and from school a safe one!
A quick safety reminder for our community this week. Always stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Leave extra space for students entering or exiting the bus, and finally…Keep eyes on the road and put away all distractions (yes, even the cell phones) near bus stops. Let’s keep working together to keep our kids safe every single day!
Welcome to Spooky Pinball, Wisconsin’s only pinball manufacturer. Spooky Pinball is located in Benton Wisconsin with now 13 years of being in business. Game Club’s advisor Mr.Feryance got to see the inner workings of how pinball machines are made from the ground up. Adam Fleege, a production lead, showed the whole operation of their factory.
Here is Aaron's story from that visit.
Spooky Pinball machines are built per order rather than having units waiting for purchase. Machines have 80 to 90% of parts made in their factory, and roughly 10 to 20% of parts being sourced out. This includes all artwork, wiring, metal work, wood cut outs, plastics, and more. The whole process starts from the bottom half of the cabinets being assembled and the corresponding artwork attached to the sides. This is where a client can have a few different tweaks like a matte or glossy finish to their machine. From there the playfield starts to get assembled with a team taking care of attaching electronic components from the top half, and another team wiring all the electrical components from the bottom half. The playfield will then be put into a test bench and be tested on all sensors and have playfield plastics attached to the top. Once they are tested and have passed, they get put into a cabinet. During this stage, they finish hooking cables and start heavily being tested to find any issues. This will consist of having different people in their shop play, that way if any issues were to be found it would be spotted out. If no issues are found, they then get sent to the last phase, cleaning/polish and boxing up. Machines will then get sent all over the world. This whole process from start to finish takes up to two weeks.
Many of the features inside of the pinball machines are done by hand. Ranging from making the rails a pinball will roll down, to hand painting the details to some of the plastic pieces, to printing off the artwork that attaches to different pieces of a pinball machine. Most of these processes are done in another building on site. A lot will be built in advance, ready for a machine order to arrive.
Currently Spooky Pinball are building units for the following licensed characters; Scooby-Doo Where Are You? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Looney Tunes, and Beetlejuice. They also made past titles including; Halloween, Jetson’s, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Rick and Morty, Ultraman Kaiju Rumble, Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle, Total Nuclear Annihilation, and few other early titles. Mr. Feryance was able to play two of their current titles Looney Tunes and Beetlejuice. He was able to set a High Score on their first ever built Looney Tunes machine. Along with being able to play a Beetlejuice unit still during manufacturing stages.
* As a side note, Mr. Feryance got to sample play a few machines and made it onto the leaderboard of one of them. Way to go, Aaron!

Step right up! National School Lunch Week was a total circus at Ithaca, but in the best way possible! Ms. Julie and her fabulous Food Service team has been bringing the circus theme to life all week long, transforming our lunch room (and lunchtime) into a big top celebration. To make things even more fun, students got a special visit from Ithaca's own Bubbles the Clown herself.... AND she even brought them a yummy treat!
National School Lunch Week highlights the importance of healthy, balanced school meals and the hard work that goes into serving them. We are so grateful for our incredible Food Service staff, and the joy, dedication, and nourishment they deliver to our students every single day! Please join us in thanking Ms. Julie, Ms. Marla, Ms. Patty, and Ms. Diane for all of their hard work!
