Because our most recent interview was with Colton Hall, Ada's homecoming king, we thought it would be great to talk with the homecoming queen. We met up with Kelsey Zimmerly during lunch. She was with several friends who claim they sit at the same table every day for lunch. Here’s a portion of our conversation.

Ada’s 7th grade Language Arts classes are on track to achieve several personal and community goals this school year, according to Bill Faine, “mayor” of the classes.
In reality, Faine is the teacher, and that’s where the fun and personal goals begin.
“I want them (the students) to be active, productive and part of the community,” said Faine.
To do that, Faine had the students form their own communities and, just as in real life, set goals for their communities. Thus, Faine, as teacher, becomes community mayor. “Our class communities are based on being positive and reliable to and for all members.”
