In February, elementary students at the Ithaca School District read and voted on their top choice for the Wisconsin Golden Archer book award. Hosted by the Wisconsin Educational Media and Technology Association (WEMTA), this book award is unique because only Wisconsin students, not adults, are allowed to vote on the winner. School Librarian, Mrs. Emily Zorea, participated in the national book committee for the 2024 Pura Belpre book award. "I was able to bring that experience back to Ithaca, and I teach my students to discuss books using similar techniques that adults use in national book award committees" she said. To select the best book, one Ithaca student in 2nd grade commented that he uses this criteria, "A great book should make you feel something, that feeling should teach you how to be a better person." The state Golden Archer Book Award winner will be announced by WEMTA in March or April.

Mrs. Zorea's 6th grade Reading class at Ithaca recently finished a Body Biography project after reading the novel, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. The novel is based on the life experiences of Salva Dut, who overcame many challenges in South Sudan during the civil war in the 1980's. Later in his life, Salva started a foundation that currently develops wells in Sudan to bring clean water to people who otherwise have no access to safe water. Body Biographies offer students a unique way to present a book report visually by researching multiple aspects of the characters and story.
