On April 29, Ada's third graders got a free tree seedling and tree planting tutorial from the Village of Ada. The mayor, village employees, and members of the tree commission met with students on the south patio to celebrate Arbor Day. The village came prepared with white swamp oak seedlings for the students to plant and the students came prepared with newly-learned information and drawings of trees.
The occasion was both fun and formal. Mayor Dave Retterer read the following proclamation #2022-01:
The Ada High School tennis team decisively beat visiting Van Wert 4-1 Thursday evening, April 28, at the park courts.
The Bulldogs improved to 3-4 with their third win in four matches. VW fell to 2-5 with the defeat.
Athletic Ada junior Brendan Jameson polished off his VW opponent quickly in two sets at second singles.
Bulldog junior Amelia Alexander gutted out a tough three-set win at third singles with hustle and mostly mistake-free groundstrokes in the match of the day. The over two-hour bout featured several long rallies and well-contested points.
