An interchangeable Book Walk on the elementary playground has been installed thanks to memorial funds from the families of Ada Schools teachers Julie Butterfield and Doris Cotsamire, a grant from the Hardin County Community Foundation, and contributions and efforts by Ada staff.

On October 20, family members, friends, former students and Ada Schools staff gathered to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially recognize the impact made by these two teachers. Smiles and tears were mingled during the course of the event. Elementary Principal Jeremy Clark welcomed guests to the event and school librarian Chanda Smith provided the story of how the Storybook Walk came to be:

“Thank you all for showing up on this rainy fall morning.  To the families of Julie Butterfield and Doris Cotsamire, may I extend a special welcome.  We’re very happy to have Rick Butterfield, Katie and Luke plus their families as well as Doug Cotsamire, Jeff and Diane Hood, Natalie Hood and her children: Calvin, Elias and Maggie.  We’re so glad you could be here for this event.  And to our 6th grade students, the last class that was lucky enough to have Mrs. Butterfield as a teacher, welcome.
