What do you do when someone celebrates her 104th birthday?

You sing “Happy Birthday!”

That’s what the Bingo crowd at Community Health Professionals did on Wednesday for Ada resident Naudean Amidon. She will turn 104 on Feb. 5.

How do you top that? You don’t.

However, as a close second, you have Agnes Crates, also of Ada, give her friend, Naudean, a bouquet of flowers. Between the two women they’ve blown out birthday candles over 200 times. Agnes is 102.

Both women are avid Bingo players.

Ada schools is in the midst of “Spirit Week.” It’s a result of a Sociology class discussion led by teacher Kristin Salyer. 

Adults reading this may have a different concept of “high school spirit” from their own school days than students of today have.

Students in Salyer’s junior and senior Sociology class at Ada High School recently focused on collective behavior. From that a discussion started on how and why social movements form.

Salyer said, “In one particular discussion, I gave students an assignment to talk to their parents about generational differences.

Here's the Ada school honor roll for the second nine-week grading period.

FOURTH GRADE ALL A:  Jackson Brown, Abid Khan, Autumn Andreasen, Olivia Burkhart, Dakota Gossman, Luke Limer, Ella Marshall and Josie Phillips
