March of Dimes “Dimes For Babies” Fundraiser Ithaca High Schools FBLA Chapter wants to sincerely thank the teachers and students for your great participation in our annual March of Dimes collection “Dimes for Babies”. Your generous contributions will help prevent premature babies, and take care of those babies that are born premature and their mothers. We had a very close race in the elementary this year but Mrs. Huffars 4th class came out on top with raising over $245! A pizza party will be given to this class. Thank you! In second place we are going to call it a tie because they were 12 cents apart. The Dilly Bars will go to Mr. Urbans class raised $200.84 and Mrs. Kitsembels class raised $200.96. Congratulations! Mr. Hess is the winner of the Pie in the Face contest. We will be giving him his reward at lunch on Monday! Thank you to all the teachers that donated their face for this competition. Thank you all very much for participating!!!! You did a great job!! As a school we raised $1,097.39

Do you suspect your child left his mud boots or sweatshirt at school? We've accumulated quite a collection since we last cleaned up. While you're enjoying a concert or awards program in the next couple of weeks, drop by the lost and found in the Commons or back hallway. You just might see that left shoe that was misplaced.

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! Thank you all for your help with this worth while cause.
