PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND CHECK OUT 10 PHOTOS SHOWING THE WALL UNVEILING -
FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOK - Ada elementary students walked past this “covered up” wall long enough to begin to wonder what’s behind the cover.
The answer was revealed on Friday. It’s an elementary honor wall. And, helping to remove the covering included several elementary honor roll students.
The Ada Academic Boosters' financial assistance made the wall possible. It is located outside the elementary office.
Ada fourth graders for several years have taken the Books with Benz reading incentive. “Benz” is really Rich Bensman, ONU men’s basketball coach.
Each fall Coach Bensman and several players on the ONU men’s team visit Ada fourth graders. The visit emphasizes the importance of reading.
Books with Benz reading incentive inspires fourth graders to read. In a men’s game, earlier this week, students who met or exceeded the reading challenge were recognized at halftime after getting into the game free. And, of course, special reading shirts come with the incentive – and the fourth graders are wearing them in the photo.
