Today FBLA began our March of Dimes, Dimes for Babies collection. Each elementary class is competing to see who can collect the most money for the March of Dimes from May 6- May 9. First place will win a pizza party and the second place class will receive dilly bars.
High School and Middle School students will be placing their dimes (or other forms of currency) in jars labeled with the faces of some of our admin/teacher/staff. These jars are available in the office or during lunch time. The teacher with the most money in their jar as of 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, will get a pie in the face at lunch on Friday. Thank you to Mr. Triphan, Mrs Moser, Mr. Mani, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs Schoen, Mr. Stettler, Mr. Favreau and Mr. Hess for volunteering your face!

Help Ithaca Schools Pave the Patio
Seniors! As you pave your way to the future, consider helping your school pave the new patio. Personalized bricks can be purchased to honor your transition from graduate to alumnus.
Personalized bricks from That’s My Brick are once again being sold to help fund the student patio and beautify the school grounds.
Anyone can purchase a brick, for just about any reason:
Class spirit, as a memorial, groups, clubs, advertisement, family pride/heritage, etc.
Patio construction will begin this summer. It will replace the original 4K playground.
Orders can be placed at https://www.thatsmybrick.com/ithacawi.
Order deadline date is May 31, 2019.
