Every year the Ithaca Student Council hosts an event to raise food for a local women's shelter in Richland Center called Passages. A tradition started more than 30 years ago with Bob Pilla, the high school English teacher, and the senior class in the early 1990s, this tradition has kept going because the shelter does depend on the generosity of the Ithaca community. Beginning December 15 and continuing until the 22nd, each Elementary, Middle, and High School class will compete against each other by bringing in donations of non-perishable food items or toiletries. Daily count totals will be tallied, and the winning class will receive a pizza party! More information will be coming home to families shortly.

This Day in History: Dec 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor was Bombed-At 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appears out of the clouds above the island of Oahu, A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes followed, descending on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault. The surprise attack struck a critical blow against the U.S. Pacific fleet and drew the United States irrevocably into World War II. The day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, President Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of Congress and declared, "Yesterday, December 7, 1941-a date which will live in infamy-the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." Other events on Dec 7, 1787 Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution.
Word of the Day: Solace, noun, means "someone or something that gives a feeling of comfort to a person who is experiencing grief, sadness, or anxiety." Her presence was a great solace to me during my time of need.
