Here's additional school updates from the Ada school website.
Prom
The date of prom has been moved. Clearly, when this “Stay at Home” order is lifted, our amazing hosts at Crimson Lane will be booked every weekend for a long time. So, we were able to get a week night date, after school will be done for the summer.
The new date is Monday, June 15. We wanted everyone to have that date. We do have some other options should this not work for some reason.
With Ada school closure extended through May 1, Meri Skilliter, Ada school superintendent provided this update on school food distribution for the month.
Here is a schedule of the distribution/pick up days for April and how many meals will be distributed each day.
Week of April 6-10 • Monday, April 6 – 2 meal packs (covering 4/6 and 4/7) • Wednesday, April 8 – 3 meal packs (covering 4/8-4/10)
The Kenton Hardin Health Department has been notified of a confirmed case for COVID-19 in a Hardin County resident.
This is the first confirmed case of COVID-19 for Hardin County. We have contacted the patient and the individuals potentially exposed and they have been instructed to self-quarantine and monitor for symptoms.
The health department will be in daily contact with these individuals for monitoring of temperatures and symptoms. No personal information about the case will be released to protect the privacy of the individual.
Here is the March 31 update from Ada schools, from the school website. Information about spring athletics is in the story below, or click here.
Spring Testing
There will be no state spring testing. This, then, negates the third grade guarantee. If you are the parent of a third grade student and have questions, please reach out to Mr. Thaxton.
Thanks to a fluke vehicle breakdown north of Ada on State Route 235 last summer, a rising star on the national country music scene will soon release an album featuring one song about Ada.
That rising star is Sal Walker and his band April Shortbread.
Late Sunday evening last July 21, Jamie Hall stopped to help a group traveling in a Tuscany Thor Motor Coach stalled near the Hardin-Hancock county line.
Assessing the situation, Hall drove to the Beaverdam travel center. There he explained the breakdown problem to a mechanic who returned with Hall and repaired the stranded vehicle.
