Throw back to School Transportation Week and some love for our Ithaca bus drivers! As we move through the winter, we are extremely grateful for our bus drivers. They get our students safely to school and back home each day. We couldn't do what we do without our drivers!




South Elementary would like to Thank M1 Credit Union of Alma for their generous donation for our school . We love the support our local business provide. Thank you Mrs. Ostrander for being our representative at the Alma M1 branch.
South's portion is just a part of the amount listed on the big check! Thanks!
