Congratulations to the following students who placed in the annual Delta Kappa Gamma writing contest sponsored by our local Lambda Chapter. Students are required to write and illustrate their own work. This year Ithaca's 3-10th grade students participated and we had many, many place finishers. These students will be recognized at a reception later in March. Books earning first place are entered into a state-wide competition. Those results will be announced later this year. Great work, students and teachers!

Mrs. Jenna Wipperfurth, one of the elementary special education teachers along with Mrs. Andrea Newkirk the Reading Specialist, welcomed parents and explained the goals for the evening. Our program began with a presentation from Ms. Kathy Stoltz, the children’s librarian at the Brewer Library. Mrs. Emily Zorea gave book talks and modeled how to use the digital library. Mrs. Shawna Kitsembel and Mrs. Denise Huffar modeled strategies to assist children with decoding words, comprehension, and fluency. The Middle School Student Council babysat children during the parent presentation. We appreciate the deal on pizzas through Pizza Hut and the delicious bars that were donated by Kris Ortiz from Center Cafe. Thank you to Mrs. Michele Wobschall for her assistance prior to our presentation. This event would not have been possible without the support of our elementary principal, Mrs. Schoen.
