Attention all high school students. Mrs. Prouty received a phone call from a community member that walked by a high school float with the American Flag. This service member said that all the students on the float stood up. Ithaca students stood up without prompting or any adults present. Mrs. Prouty wants to say thank you for that, for respecting the flag, and impressing a community member. You not only honored the flag, but you brought honor to the school, and honored the service member's time. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who donated shoes to our shoe drive. With your help, the 5th grade collected 105 pairs of tennis shoes for children in need. This means 105 students can now attend school and get an education! Thank you to all who donated! Your kindness just changed someone's life!!
Middle School Football Parents and Players: Due to a shortage of bus drivers the October 10th game at DeSoto has been moved to 6:30 PM. Obviously, this means we will most likely not get back until approximately 10:00 PM. Thus, we will not be stopping on the way home. However, we will have time right after school to eat. So, I encourage you to have your son pack his own lunch for that time.
If you would like to purchase a letterman's jacket, please see Mrs. Moser for an order form. Cost is $275.
The Middle School Football game that was rescheduled for tonight in Boscobel has been cancelled.
