Ithaca Schools would like to congratulate Ithaca Student Josie Laue, who competed in the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming recently. Josie was able to spend time with family and friends and had 2 nice barrel runs, one of her best goat runs, and continued to gain valuable experience in the cutting pen. This will bring to an end Josie's Junior year. Congratulations to each contestant on team Wisconsin. Josie and her team would like to thank all the WI High School sponsors and supporters, especially Mike McCormick and Wyoming Saddle Company for the incredible cutting saddle, to Clay Dean for helping keep the horses healthy and performing, to DAC and Tammy Harms-Myers, and to Equine Therapy by Mike Rud.

The 2022-2023 Ithaca High School Yearbooks will be available to pick up before the Co-Curricular Meeting on Monday, July 31. Students or their parents will be able to get the yearbooks starting at 5 pm in the Ithaca Commons and will need to sign a form stating that they have received the book. A few extra yearbooks have been ordered and will be available to purchase for $55 each by cash or check (payable to Ithaca High School with 2023 High School Yearbook on the memo line). Katie Burnley can be contacted at katie.burnley@ithaca.k12.wi.us if you have any questions.

The first tomato harvest from the Bulldog Garden! A lot more on the way. - Julie Severance, Ithaca School District Farm to School Specialist

From RC/I cross country coach, Eric Mindham: There will be an optional coaches practice tonight, July 25th at 7:15pm. I want to have it late enough to try to avoid the bad heat we are going to have this week. We should be wrapped up 8:30pm. We will plan to meet in front of the RCHS. There will be another coaches practice on Thursday, depending on weather and athlete interest. These are great opportunities to bring a friend who might be interested in running and wants to give it a shot. Thank you! Coach Mindham

Wednesday science and cooking summer school class talked about parts of a plant. We made pumpkin bars and the 6-8 did an experiment using plant material and heat to resemble coal. We have to say, the room smelled better with the pumpkin bars and not the heated plant material.
