Don’t let the flu get you, and, if you are sick, stay home and get well. That’s the message Marlene Vermillion posted on Facebook earlier this week. She is the Ada school nurse.
Ada has 880 students enrolled. On Tuesday, there were 24 students out in the elementary and 18 in the high school. During the worst of the flu season last year, there were as many as 80 students absent on any given day in the high school alone.
But to prevent Ada numbers from increasing, read this note from the nurse:
The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration at Ohio Northern has received a full five-year extension of accreditation from theAssociation to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. (AACSB).
AACSB-accredited schools have the highest-quality faculty and relevant and challenging curricula. Less than 5 percent of the world’s business programs have earned AACSB accreditation.

The Polar Bears improve to 17-1 overall and stay perfect in the OAC at 11-0, while the Quakers drop to 9-9, 4-7.
WILMINGTON — Junior Ryan Bruns (Chickasaw/Marion Local) became the 38th member of Ohio Northern's 1,000-Point Club in a 95-77 men's basketball loss at Wilmington on Wednesday evening at Raizk Arena.
