FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOOK – In the spirit of giving during the holiday season, Ada fifth grade students collected items including coloring books, crayons and activity books to be donated to a pediatric wing at a local hospital.
Fifth graders wrote on Ada Bulldgos Facebook: 'We know that children of all ages may find themselves needing medical care this Christmas and we thought it would be nice to offer them some holiday cheer."
The items are donated in memory of Taylor Carder. Taylor's mother, Kelly Carder, is an aide at Ada schools. She lost her daughter, Taylor, in a car accident six years ago.
Last week the Ada school board recognized Amanda Henson, Hillary Buxton and Kristin Purdy, creators of Boots for Bulldogs. The group so far raised over $29,000 to place safety devices in all school classrooms. Superitendent Meri Skilliter stands with Amanda, Hillary and Kristin following the board meeting

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved generic versions of Gilenya, a multiple sclerosis (MS) medication.
Gilenya (fingolimod) is used to treat adults with relapsing forms of MS. This medication is available in capsule form. The FDA initially approved this drug in 2010, but it has only been available as a brand-name medication — until now.
This month, the FDA approved three applications for generic Gilenya. A generic version means a more affordable treatment option.

“A couple of us have been playing hockey for several years,” explains Joel Hauenstein age 11 and a member of the Strikers team. “We got some other kids interested and formed teams.”
