On Oct. 9, the U.S. Department of Agriculture extended its free breakfast and lunch program offered to school from Dec. 31 until the end of the school year.
Ada Schools participates in the federal meal program, which began Sept. 10.
The program was extended to all schools as a response to economic concerns brought on for many families by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Students who have balances on their accounts can be used in the meantime for additional ala cart menu items beyond the basic lunch.
You'll want stop at 610 South Johnson on trick-or-treat night; but on the other hand, maybe you'll pass. The Icon understand that the Halloween decorations in these photos are simply the tip of the iceberg. More is on the way. Ada's trick-or-treat night is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 29.
FROM ONU WEBSITE - In a time where anything “normal” in higher education is scarce, Ohio Northern University is still clinging tightly to one of its foundational pillars of existence: service.
Whether it looks like traditional community service, or something outside the box, our students live to serve others however they can, pandemic or not.
Thus far, Ohio Northern has been able to successfully implement COVID-19 safety measures and minimize risk without sacrificing a real, in-person college experience, and service is a large part of that experience.
On average, approximately 1,500 students volunteer roughly 50,000 hours of community service in a given year.
