Under gray November skies for the past two days, Tom Lehman has been placing many America flags near the goalposts of the football field at War Memorial Park.
Incredibly, each flag represents one thousand U.S. men and women who have died in military service over the years to protect our freedoms. He does this now because of the upcoming Veterans Day and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I in recognition of the many Americans who gave their all.
The Ada Schools will have a renewal levy on the November ballot.
An organizational meeting of a group called Advancing Ada Schools will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, in the board room. Advancing Ada Schools has been formed to promote the levy. All are welcome to attend.
Superintendent Meri Skilliter, said, “Previous board members and district leaders did a wonderful job throughout recent years of spreading the tax burden between property and income tax. The community has been generous in renewing the levies that generate revenue for operations and capital improvements.
