Ada's latest news

the school provides some reminders

Ada students will return to classroom learning on Monday, Dec. 7, in two different models. Those are explained in this story from the school website, or click here for that information.

As Ada students return to classes on Monday, the school provides the following to assist in that return to campus:

• If someone in your house is being tested for covid-19, keep your student home until the test results come in. Report all cases of covid-19 to the school office.

• Students must wear a mask.

•Be prepared to return to remote learning should the need arise.

Ada residents have the Christmas spirit and it is obvious by driving around town at night to view lawn and house decorations. Make certain your next cruise includes the houses at the intersection of Johnson and Lincoln.

(RxWiki News) The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a device for sleep problems related to nightmares.

This device is called Nightware. The FDA approved it to temporarily reduce sleep disturbances tied to nightmares.

Nightware is approved for adults who are at least 22 years old and have been diagnosed with nightmare disorder or have nightmares related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

When someone experiences a shocking, scary or dangerous event, they can develop PTSD. And those with PTSD may experience sleep problems and nightmares.

'Dogs visit Perry in its first road game early Saturday afternoon

ADA - The host Ada girls basketball team fell behind big out of the gate and lost convincingly 54-15 to Columbus Grove in the Northwest Conference opener Thursday night.

The purple and gold dropped to 0-2 (0-1 NWC) after the defeat. Defending league champion Grove improved to 2-2 (1-0 NWC) with their second straight victory.

CG used a sticky fullcourt zone press to help force eight Ada turnovers on their first nine possessions. The visitors capitalized on the miscues to race to a 16-0 lead, and were never threatened.
