The September newsletter from the Ada Elementary School is now online. The Icon posts it here:
Wow! Another school year is here. What an exciting time in our community. Some students are just beginning their school journey, and this is a big step in their lives! We enjoy the opportunity to teach the kids of our community and be a part of these important moments.
This year we have no new staff members to announce; however, we do have a few changes in what grades teachers are teaching. Mrs. Kosier (Harmon) has moved from 2nd grade to Kindergarten, and Mrs. Butterfield has moved from 3rd grade to 4th grade.

Here's the lowdown on the Friday-Saturday, Oct. 27-28 comedy murder mystery event at The Inn at ONU.
Family and friends of Horatio Hornblow Haversham gather at his mountain castle on his 90th birthday. A terrible storm rages on outside but even more dire events take place inside the mansion walls. A midnight séance! Ghostly spirits from beyond! A last will is missing! Mysterious uninvited strangers. And dead bodies piling up. This funny murder mystery has lots of laughs and chills.
Appetizers are served from 6 to 6:30 p.m. and the drama follows.
