Mrs. Masters' Spanish classes took to the billboards in the hallways of Ithaca to brighten the space, and help celebrate Thanksgiving at Ithaca.
Not just Bulldogs in the building! We had special visitors in the 1st Grade classroom today. 🐾 Sergeant Schildgen and his incredible K9 partner, Aron, stopped by to make new friends and show us the fun, friendly side of community policing. These visits are all about building positive connections and trust, one paw print at a time. It’s wonderful seeing smiles all around!

Word of the Day:
Heyday: a period of great popularity or prosperity - In its heyday, the circus was a major form of entertainment for the small town.
On This Day in History:
On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders scored two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets—and no one watching from home saw it. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switched off the game in favor of its previously scheduled programming, a made-for-TV version of the movie “Heidi.” Viewers were outraged, and they complained so vociferously that network executives learned a lesson they’ll never forget: “Whatever you do, you better not leave an NFL football game.”

Our students are grateful! If you came on Tuesday for Ithaca's Veterans Day program, you may have noticed the artwork and effort of Ms. Bultman's 1st graders. Students learned about poppies and wanted to welcome our veteran guests with stars and poppies of gratitude.
From finished wall hanging masterpieces to "in progress" works of art, it's always inspiring to stop by Ms. Durkin's Art Department to see what's happening at Ithaca!
It's time for a throwback Thursday memory. Today we travel back in time to the 1999 conference Champion Ithaca girls softball team.
