Several opportunities to join children’s choirs and small music classes for youngsters are available in October, according to Vicki Mills of Miss Vicki’s Music Studio, 2613 State Route 81, Ada.
“Our choirs serve who desire an exciting choral opportunity. Singers will learn healthy vocal technique, learn to sight-read, enjoy working with like-minded singers of various ages and experience, and develop performing skills through local and studio concerts performing a variety of music,” said Mills.

The past photo shows the old Ada School building, which was built in 1929. At first, this building was exclusively for high school students, but in 1953, an elementary portion was added and the building became a K-12 learning environment.
In 1971, a new science wing and gymnasium was built, and a second gymnasium was added in 1987.
A bittersweet moment came in 2008 when the current K-12 building was completed and the old school was demolished, leaving the empty field that you can see today.
