Ada's latest news

The countdown is on.

Friday, May 22, is the last day of the 2014-15 Ada school year. The Ada elementary office provided some last-minute reminders for parents and students:

• Early dismissal – Ada village students in Kindergarten to third grade will be dismissed at 1:10 p.m. All other elementary students will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m.

• Fees – Students who have unpaid fees as of May 20 not receive a grade card. Fees carry-over from year to year. To receive a graduation diploma all fees must be paid in full.

It's end-of-school-year body art. The Ada elementary walls are covered with life-size images similar to these three, created by youth artists.

As a community service, 62 Ada 6th graders pitched in Tuesday afternoon to help make the Railroad Park a more beautiful place this season.

Many of the students mulched the numerous flower beds while others weeded. Several students also went down Main Street to clip away wild shoots from the pear trees and planted pear trees as well.

Help from 6th graders is an annual event each May.
