Hello! My name is Kennedi Kjellberg and I am the new K-12 music teacher here at Ithaca! I just graduated from Winona State University with my BST for Vocal and Instrumental Music Education, and I am so excited to be here! My primary instruments are piano, saxophone, and voice. I am originally from Somerset, WI and that is where my family still resides. I have twin sisters who are entering their second year of college, and they are my best friends in the world! I spent this past summer working at a summer camp on leadership staff. Aside from all things music, I like to spend my time reading, crafting, and spending time with my people. I am looking forward to getting to know this community!

My name is Heather Deitelhoff, and I am an Ithaca alumni (Class of 2014). After high school, I went on to attend UW Richland and eventually earn my Bachelor of Science In Family and Consumer Sciences Education with a minor in Health Education from UW-Stevens Point in 2019. I was then able to come back home and teach here at Ithaca, I am starting year 5! I am a new Mom to one daughter, I enjoy spending time with Family, listening to Taylor Swift, and I am an enthusiastic (some might say overzealous) collector of Crocs. I look forward to another great year here at Ithaca!

Autumn Bultman - 1st Grade
I was raised in Whitewater, WI. From there I attended Edgewood College for 2 years, playing soccer and track while attending, then transferred and graduated from UW-Platteville and later Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School. A fun fact about me is that I hold my high school record for most soccer goals scored within a single season, with 25 goals. Over the summer I traveled out West to Jackson Hole, WY. I currently have 3 adopted heelers, 2 adopted cats, 3 horses, and a lot of chickens! This is my 5th year of teaching, but first in the district. I look forward to being apart of the Ithaca community!

We would like to welcome Sarah Dilley BACK to Ithaca, and are excited about her new role as Elementary School Principal at Ithaca.
Here is some background info directly from Mrs. Dilley.
"My journey in education began 25 years ago, fueled by a deep love for children and a passion for helping them grow—not just academically, but as whole individuals.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: paraprofessional, classroom teacher, interventionist, special education teacher, and alternate administrator. Each role has taught me something valuable and shaped the way I lead and support others today.
I spent seven incredibly meaningful years teaching at Ithaca, and the sense of community and school culture there left a lasting impression on me. I’m so grateful for all the amazing colleagues, families, and students who helped shape my path.
What led me into education was my love for kids. What led me into leadership was my desire to support teachers, build strong teams, and create a positive, thriving school environment for everyone.
I’m truly excited for this next chapter—to build on the great work already happening and to work side-by-side with a passionate group of educators, families, and students to help every learner shine.
Here’s to a year filled with growth, collaboration, and meaningful impact!"
Please say HELLO and welcome Mrs. Dilley!
