The Ada/Spencerville volleyball game on Tuesday, Oct. 3, will support Volley for the Cure. And, Amelia will be there, too.
Amelia is an Ada first grader who has fought stage four cancer since January 2015...and is winning the battle. One of her goals is raising donations for Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus.
Also, three representatives from each school will have three minutes to race through the stands to get donations. The principal whose school collect less will have to dress up in the winning school's mascot costume for the entire varsity game.
Also, new children and adult coloring books may be donated to be given to patients at Nationwide.
The 2016-17 Ada High School yearbooks are now available. The full color book is $30 and may be ordered by contacting [email protected] or by calling Anna Yoakam at 419-634-2746.
Those who preordered the book may pick one up at the high school office between 8:15 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

LIMA BATH - The Ada cross country teams competed in another warm meet at the Bath Invitational Tuesday evening.
"It is meets like this that remind me that cross country is probably the friendliest sport around," said coach Josh Klein. "Our times were a direct result of the heat. It is a really cool experience to see fellow coaches, crowd members, and other athletes rally around one another when someone was struggling, or simply walking because they were overheated."
