Ada elementary's January newsletter was posted on the school website. Here is the information in the newsletter.

During the past year, the Ada Icon saw a significant increase in the number of stories viewed, more than a quarter of a million—272,327 to be exact. That’s an increase of 23 percent in the past year.
Truly, the Ada Icon lives up to its motto, “Where Ada gets its news.”
And, the Icon tries hard to meet the local news appetite. We posted more than 2,500 stories in 2017. Some weeks saw 70 or more local stories made available to readers. That's a lot of news, week after week, from a village that is only 2 square miles in size.
