Ithaca 5th Graders enjoyed the annual field trip to White Mound. Each class spent an hour on the water in kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards thanks to SOAC (Summer Outdoor Activities Club) out of Reedsburg. They were able to see some fish, water snakes, a couple of turtles, a family of geese, and a buffalo head duck. Each class also spent about an hour hiking around the lake with our wonderful guide Liz Deitelhoff learning some common plants and invasive species.

​Did you know that kids often experience 11 years of emotional distress before they receive treatment? Did you know a parent's perceptions about mental health care highly predicts whether a child receives initial treatment? This graphic from Wisconsin Office of Children's Mental Health can help assess the need for and guide families to the right path to help receive assistance.

Still wanting your own Elementary/Middle School yearbook? There are still 9 yearbooks left. So if you forgot to get yours please reach out to Samantha Hilby at hilbsam@ithaca.k12.wi.us. The cost is $15. When they're gone, they're gone....so don't wait!

You think you have a win locked in, until... Using games in the classroom teaches many lessons such as socializing, strategizing, critical thinking, math, even working through frustrations or enjoying successes gracefully. Mrs. Mani thought she had the UNO hand to take her to victory, until a "Swap" card from one of her opponents... Their faces say it all.
