Although school is not out for the summer, plans are underway for a late-summer back-to-school event held at Bethel Church of Christ, rural Ada, on Sunday, Aug. 21, according to Gideon Fisher, who is planning the event.
The event is called “Urge” and it is a free, community-wide, student, back-to-school event.
Fisher explained the event this way:
“The focus of Urge is to encourage students (junior high through college age) to do well in the upcoming school year but more importantly to urge them to be who God wants them to be in their schools.
Today's 4-H meeting we had a special speaker, Mark Light. He showed us through the Spark Lab, The Spark Lab was made for creativity and inamation.
The lab has multiple different electronics from laptops, to Apple tvs and even to a 3D printer. A 3D printer is a machine that takes corn-based plastic heated up to 215 c or 400 f, and makes a any design you want!
Sometimes the weather makes a pig turn blue and fall over, especially when it is April 9, the ground covered in snow, snow plows working, and gusty winds make the wind/chill 9 degrees. (Monty Siekerman photo)
