Mrs. Menke's 4K Bulldogs dove into learning about a Fall favorite this week.... APPLES! Our little learners had a busy week reading all about apple orchards, discovering the different parts of an apple, and even using their math skills to measure how many apples tall they are. They topped off the fun by whipping up some delicious "apple pies in a cup" treat! We want to send a HUGE thank you to the wonderful team at Oakwood Fruit Farm for donating the apples that made our hands on week so special. Check out the pictures below to see the apples of our eye in action!
Speak Up Speak Out is a free, confidential safety reporting system run through school safety programs (like the Wisconsin Department of Justice). It lets students, parents, and staff report safety concerns 24/7—like bullying, self-harm, threats, or mental health struggles—to trained professionals who can help.

This week is Wisconsin School Board Week, and it is the perfect time to highlight the members of the Ithaca School Board for their commitment to our students, staff, and community. Our board members spend countless hours behind the scenes, making difficult decisions, advocating for quality education, and helping shape the future for Ithaca Schools. We extend our deep appreciation to Board President Steve Louis (not pictured), along with board members Joseph Brown (not pictured), Mandi Brown, Robert Buscher, Kelly Feryance, Patrick Magee (not pictured), and Marty Richards for their service, leadership, and support of our district. Please join us in thanking these seven individuals for everything they do to support our schools and community!
Ithaca High School students attended the WI Education Fair hosted at UW-Platteville. Sixty-six colleges and military representatives assisted our students in exploring what each organization had to offer. They were then able to take a tour of the UW-P campus. A special thanks to our Ithaca alumni who guided the tour: Kyla Pluemer, Maggie Kershner, and Hewsten Boland.

On National Coaches Day, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to every single coach across the Ithaca School District.
From our youth leagues to our high school varsity teams, our coaches serve as mentors, leaders, and role models. Coaching goes far beyond calling plays and organizing practices. It takes an incredible amount of time, energy, and personal sacrifice. Long after the final whistle blows, our coaches are spending early mornings, late nights, and weekends preparing our athletes to succeed both on and off the fields, courts, and tracks.
To all of our Ithaca coaches: thank you. Thank you for your commitment, your patience, and the passion you bring to our sports programs every day. The lessons you teach about teamwork, resilience, discipline, and sportsmanship leave a lasting impact that shapes the lives of our students long after their time at Ithaca has ended. We are so grateful for everything you do for our students. Happy National Coaches Day!

Today, as we did 20 years ago, we join our neighbors to the north in remembering the tremendous life of John Klang. Our collective hearts and minds are with Mr. Klang's family, friends, former students, and all who were touched by him.
Using the words of the Weston School District,
"September 29, 2026, marks 20 years since John Klang sacrificed his life protecting the students and staff of Weston School.
John Klang was a true reflection of what it means to be part of the Weston community. Throughout his lifetime, he left an indelible mark on Weston—as a student, a leader, a mentor, a protector, and through his many years of service to our school.
John dedicated more than 20 years to the Weston School Board and also served Weston as an Athletic Director and, ultimately, as Principal. In every role, he demonstrated a deep commitment to our students, our staff, and the Weston community.
Twenty years later, John’s courage, dedication, and love for Weston continue to be remembered. His impact can still be felt throughout our school and community, and his legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched.
Today, we invite our Weston community to pause and remember John—to reflect on his contributions, the memories he created, and the difference he made in the lives of so many.
We will never forget his sacrifice. We will always be grateful for his service. And his legacy will forever be a part of Weston." 💙🦅
