Melanie Lendosky is an area mom whose daughter found a great outlet that builds confidence and enhances strengths. Read her story, and watch their group tomorrow!
My daughter started playing wheelchair basketball this last fall/winter. She was born with Spina Bifida. The program has made such a difference in her self-confidence and also physically. Because of this, I am trying to get the word out to other families with disabled children and also to special ed directors/teachers etc. I hope it is ok that I went to the contacts that I have made at school districts because you know kids or at least special ed directors/teachers or maybe even families affected.
The team she is playing for is the Mad City Badgers. They put on demonstration by scrimmaging the varsity teams of school districts. As part of the demonstration, the coach also includes disability awareness. We are putting on a demonstration this Saturday from 4-8 pm at Hillsboro high school. You can also find out more information on their facebook page, Mad City Wheelchair sports.

At this time, we would like to take the opportunity to thank the many dedicated volunteers within the Ithaca Community who have served others, especially our children.

Middle school track parents,
With the extra time added to the end of school we have determined that having practice from 3:40 – 5:00 does not allow us enough time to condition nor properly coach the athletes in their specific event(s). Starting Monday, April 15th, we are asking to extend practice an additional half hour. We will be done such that you may pick up your athlete at 5:30. Naturally, if this creates a conflict we will adjust for the individual family’s situation. If you have any questions you may either call me at 608-585-2512 or email me at tripdav@ithaca.k12.wi.us.
Thank you for your support
Coach Triphan
