Welcome to the Ada Icon’s “Ada Teacher Feature.” Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students. Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well.
Today we meet Gary Wells, art teacher, whose advice is to “do what you love.” Gary joins Steve Jobs, Maya Angelou, Ray Bradbury and a whole host of others proclaiming this same mantra as he works each day in the art room to support our students with motivation for success.

Members of the Ada Tree Commission, with the help of eight Sigma Phi Epsilon members, trimmed trees in town on last Saturday afternoon.
Most of the commission members have completed a course sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which included instruction in trimming and pruning trees.
Trees in the Industrial Park, Depot Park, and the right-of-way of streets were made safer, healthier, and more beautiful due to the efforts of the volunteers.
