Ada High School 2020 graduates never thought they would fly this high.
While this year’s seniors have not experienced many of the year-end events celebrated by previous graduating classes they do have this first: Photos of each graduate is on a separate Main Street banner for the all world to see.
The banners are thanks to many donations from the community, driven by an effort from parents of the grads.

We had a very successful blood drive on Monday despite the rain. Almost everyone who was on the schedule came in and gave their donation and the majority of those people signed up for our July 20th blood drive.
The Red Cross informed me that those donations helped save 126 lives. Thank you all.
And a very special Tthank you to the Ada VFW for hosting it.
The Red Cross personnel deserve a huge thank you. Setting up and tearing down for a blood drive is a tremendous amount of work. Kudos to all of those people...dedicated and hard working.
