Ada's latest news

Even skeletons smile. This one happens to be a student at Ready, Set, Grow Pre-School. On Friday students came to school dressed in their Halloween costumes.

Craig Butler, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), will discuss the agency’s role in protecting the public and the environment in Ohio Northern University’s Dicke Forum on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 6:30 p.m.  The event is free and open to the public.

Butler also will discuss the contrasting roles between federal and state agencies. The presentation will occur in tandem with an environmental law class taught by Dr. Russ Decker, ONU lecturer of political science.

“Stand up, Ada fans, and join us in cheering on our Bulldogs as the Ada High School Marching Band plays the fight song for our team!”

Do these words stir you to jump up out of your seat and applaud as the team takes the field, the cheerleaders leap into synchronized action, the color guard waves their bulldog flags, and the band fills the stadium with that familiar, heart pounding beat that proclaims another football Friday night in Ada, Ohio?
