Amanda Alexander is going to be our new kindergarten teacher. Let's give Amanda a great big BULLDOG WELCOME!!

I’m a busy mom of two and we call Dodgeville home. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with students of many different ages. However, the younger grades have always held a special place in my heart.

When I’m not at school, you’ll usually find me golfing, camping, bowling, or cheering on my kids at their many sporting events. They keep us busy with wrestling, football, basketball, baseball, and bowling, and I love soaking up every minute of it.

I may have a lot of orange in my closet, but I’m excited to add some purple and become part of this amazing school community!

Let's welcome Bailie Wellner to the Bulldog team!

Hello all! I am super excited to have been hired as the Elementary Physical Education Teacher! I just graduated from UW Whitewater in the spring, so this will be my first teaching experience! I have subbed and coached in schools for years, but I am grateful to start my career at Ithaca.

I grew up not very far in Boscobel, WI. I have always loved this part of the state, so I’m excited to be back! Even though I have been a bulldog before, purple is definitely the better color. I am so excited for the school year to start, Go Bulldogs!

We would like to welcome Gretchen Kanable to the team!

I was born and raised on a dairy farm here in Richland County and graduated from Kickapoo High School. I earned my degrees from UW-Platteville - focusing on agriculture at first. Originally, I started out as a 4-H Extension Agent but went back for a second master's degree in School Counseling. My public-school career started at Ithaca (many moons ago), as the first Dean of Students. Then I was hired as a school counselor at Hillsboro, then went to Richland Center for twelve years, until I decided to try out being an Academic Advisor for Madison College. I was called back into school counseling last year at the Westby School District until the Ithaca position opened. I am happy to be back at Ithaca for the School Counselor role.

My husband, Corey works and Walsh's. Our daughter, Bryndalyn just graduated from Richland Center. She has been extremely involved in 4-H where she shows sheep, does photography and sewing. She was quite involved at RCHS and works at Community First Bank. She will be a Freshmen at UW-Whitewater this fall. Purple will be a good color for our family!

We would like to welcome our new First Grade teacher, Jessica Strang.

After 12 years of being in and out of all types of classrooms, I have been called by many names, but you can call me Ms.S. I understand what it's like to be a part of a small community as I grew up in Mazomanie, and went to Heights. So you could also say I am an expert of going to school around corn fields.

My first experience with 1st grade was back during covid where I was a long-term substitute teacher at Heights. I was hooked from day one and needed to get back to it as soon as I could. Well, hello I am here and so excited to learn just as much as these students. Let's go Bulldogs!

The Ithaca Future Farmers of America planted 900 new lavender plants in just 2 hours and 10 minutes… and they even worked through the rain! WOW! 👏💜
A very special THANK YOU to Melissa Sprecher for her kindness and leadership in bringing her students out to our farm to gain hands-on experience, learn about lavender farming, and WORK REALLY HARD!
These students absolutely crushed it! 💪
After all that hard work, they wrapped up the day with some fishing and had a blast together. 🎣
We are so grateful and thankful for their partnership and support of our small family farm business. Supporting the next generation of agriculture means so much to us.
Next up…
💧 Water every 3 days until early July

💜 Then watch them FLOURISH!

Eight grade ag is learning about ethanol. They have learned about the corn plant and the process of making ethanol. They had to research the break even point of ethanol based on corn prices, positives and negatives of using it in vehicles, and then come to an opinion on whether we should use it and why. Today they tested the reaction of different parts of the corn plant to yeast and heat to determine which part makes the most ethanol .
