Ada SAFE (Schools Are For Everyone) 2020 announces the beginning of “AMA: COVID Questions,” which will allow members of the community to ask questions related to the novel coronavirus and COVID-19.
These questions will then be answered by a panel of local experts from the fields of immunology, epidemiology, medicine, psychology, and public health. AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything."
Ada SAFE 2020 hopes that the videos that result from this project can provide vital information for all community members as Ada prepares for the opening of schools this fall.

Due to SAT and ACT testing cancelations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio Northern University will allow most prospective first-year students to apply for admission in the fall of 2021 without these test scores.
Students applying for admission to the nursing, early childhood education, and middle childhood education programs are not eligible for test-optional admissions and must present their ACT or SAT results due to accreditation standards. Home-schooled students are also not eligible for test-optional admission.
The university will continue to maintain the same high academic standards, and the decision to submit test scores will be left to the student applicant.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Ever wonder what lies on the floor of the Bluffton Buckeye quarry?
How about this: Where did Bluffton residents swim a century ago?
And: How did Cigarette Creek get its name? Are you kidding, is there such a place in Bluffton? Where it is?
