Ada third graders celebrate Arbor Day with village officials

By Monty Siekerman

Ada third graders would be winners of a "Jeopardy" show with the category "Trees." Angela Pokachek taught them well.

In recognition of National Arbor Day on Friday, members of the Ada tree commission asked the students several questions:

• Who founded National Arbor Day?
• When?
• Where?

The youngsters raised their hands before the questions were even completed. Their answers were correct.

Angela, assistant village administrator and a tree commission member, talked with the three third classes the day before about the special day and the value and care of trees.
