The Ada Exempted Village Schools will hold both a planning session and its monthly meeting at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 at 725 West North Avenue.
Thank you to our viewers who shared their thoughts and photos of the April 8 total solar eclipse (video HERE).
Beth Howard of Ada commented, "Eclipse day was a fun family day. The kids played football and took breaks often to put on their glasses and check the sun. Our playlist for the day included "Walking on the Sun" and "Dancing in the Moonlight." Then we all looked up and were amazed! WOW!"
Photographer Ken Collins captured the full eclipse and a moment when the sun was not quite covered by the moon, demonstrating the awesome power of the fiery orb.
Gail Altstaetter of the Mercantile on Main sent a heavenly image of downtown Ada with the darkened sky laced by wisps of cloud.

The program was an opportunity to catch up on the most recent developments for Matthews and the hospital. Also providing updates was Albert Loayza, RNFA, operating room (OR) manager at Bluffton Hospital.
