Word of the Day: A bugbear, noun, is a source of dread or irritation; in other words, something that causes problems or annoys people. The biggest bugbear of the skiing business is a winter with no snow.
This day in history: On November 14, 1960, a court order mandating the desegregation of schools comes into effect in New Orleans, Louisiana. Six-year-old Ruby Bridges walks into William Frantz Elementary School, accompanied by federal marshals and taunted by angry crowds, instantly becoming a symbol of the civil rights movement, an icon for the cause of racial equality and a target for racial animosity. 1851 Herman Melville publishes “Moby-Dick”

The Wisconsin Early Childhood Association (WECA) recently donated turkeys and hams to the Ithaca School District! WECA donated coupons for 13 hams. If the school bought 1 ham with a coupon, they received 1 turkey for free, which means Ithaca has 26 items that will be randomly given out to Ithaca families to make holiday meals a little brighter. The School District will be contacting selected families soon. Ithaca would like to thank WECA, Brooke Hackl for her trip to Madison retrieving the hams and birds, and a special thanks to Hy-Vee for being so accommodating during the lengthy transactions required to make this all come together.

Don't forget! Today is a scheduled early release. Elementary will begin releasing at 12:15, and the final bell for middle and high school students is 12:35pm.
Ithaca's 8th Grade Scientists present: The Pizza Box Periodic Table!
After learning about how the Periodic Table of the Elements was organized, each 8th grade student designed and created 2 (or more) boxes for elements of the periodic table. They researched the discovery and use of their element, including photos and a Bohr model of what each atom of their element looks like. The boxes were then arranged with the other elements to create an interactive periodic table for all Ithaca students to learn from! Included in the full display are labels for metals, metalloids, and nonmetals, directional arrows for how the elements have been arranged onto the table, and expandable lanthanide and actinide series.

Word of the Day: valorous Someone or something described as valorous, adjective, is marked by courage or heroism. For carrying three wounded members of his squadron out of harm's way, the lieutenant was presented with an award that recognized his valorous actions in the heat of battle.
This day in history: 1982 Near the end of a weeklong national salute to Americans who served in the Vietnam War, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington, D.C. after a march to its site by thousands of veterans of the conflict. The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict, arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.
