Ada's future weather forecaster points to "snow" on the ONU Preschool bulletin board earlier this week. The Icon stopped in the preschool just as the morning routine was underway. One important piece of the routine is for a student to point the the day's weather conditions.
This note from the ONU Facebook:
"Even though Carol Channing wasn't an ONU alumna, she will always be a Polar Bear in our hearts.
"Ms. Channing performed the first concert at ONU's Freed Center for the Performing Arts on April 27, 1991, and absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Apart from her obvious talent, she was an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, even sending us personal Christmas cards after her one visit to Ada. Thank you, Ms. Channing!"
Ms. Channing died at 12:31 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019, at home in Rancho Mirage, California, of natural causes.
While Ada students have no school on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Day, several events are planned next week. Here are some of those from the Ada school website:
FROM MRS THAXTON: Reminder to 6th-8th graders: bring your money for Pennies for Patients to your Advisory teacher on Tuesday, Jan. 22.
BOOK CLUB: We will meet Tuesday, Jan. 22, during lunch. Selection this month is a book that has been turned in to a movie. Snacks will be provided. See Mrs. Smith with any questions.
