Ohio Northern University will put active learning and community involvement into practice with the annual Ada Community Engagement (ACE) event from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 24.
The program is designed to engage incoming students with their college home and provide opportunities for ONU’s first-year students to contribute to the village and surrounding communities.
University members will travel to several individual residences to help with projects such as weeding, mulching and painting.
The most important questions for Ada elementary students leading up to the first day of school are:

Those questions are answered today as the Kindgergarten to sixth grade class lists are now posted.
