Aldo Leopold said, “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
Celebrate Aldo Leopold this Saturday at the Discovery Building at 330 N Orchard St, Madison, WI from 10am until Noon. Learn to read animal tracks, investigate species of mammals, birds, fish, and more, create a nature journal, build instruments to measure wind and weather. More information can be found on the website https://discovery.wisc.edu/programs/saturday-science
Our Lady Bulldogs take on the Weston Silver Eagles in basketball action tonight at home. Come on out and cheer them on! JV begins at 6pm, Varsity at 7:15pm.
Throwback Thursday time is here! It was an era of short basketball shorts and feathered hair. What year did this picture land in the Ithaca yearbook?
The Buildings and Grounds Committee and Policy Committee meetings originally scheduled for this evening will now be held on January 9th at their previously scheduled times. Our school calendar on the website has been updated to reflect the changes.
The Ithaca Lions Club sponsors the KidCare Photo ID Project in our school, providing parents with a free standardized, high quality instant photograph of their child in an ID booklet.
The KidCare Photo ID provides parents with information necessary to have handy if their child were ever lost or abducted. On Wednesday, January 9, Ithaca Lions and the Richland County Sheriff’s Department will be providing this service again to our families. If you have and can find, please send the KidCare blue book to your child’s teacher for it to be updated on January 9. It will then be returned to you.
If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to contact Meredith Bevan or Kathleen Schoen at 585-2311.
Good morning and welcome to our final day of Winter break. We will welcome students back to class tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, after taking a winter break of it's own, our Throwback Thursday photo share will happen again tomorrow - stay tuned!
Happy New Year from Ithaca Schools!
See you back on Thursday, Jan. 3rd!

There is a bag tournament going on right now at Ithaca. Great "wind down" time for teachers, students and administrators getting ready for the Christmas break.
Mrs. Zorea had each one of her elementary students help decorate a holiday shirt for her. Here she is with one of the classes, wearing the creation! :)
Thank you to the middle school student council and Mrs. Hilby for organizing the Elf Shop! Elementary students were able to shop for their parents, finding great items, and spending no more than $2.00 total!
