Over 600 sophomores in Apollo Career Center’s 11-member district will visit Apollo during 411Blast, Friday, Jan. 25. Ada students will visit Apollo during the afternoon session.
This day is designed to expose students to possibilities and paths that are available for their career and/or college success. Students choose two programs of interest and then spend one-half day visiting those labs, meeting the instructors and participating in fun, interactive demos and activities.
It provides students with more information to base their career decisions upon and gives them first-hand knowledge about the Career Center prior to priority enrollment which begins in February.

John Lomax, retired professor of history at Ohio Northern University, told Ada Kiwanis members that “Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech at ONU in 1968 was a watershed moment in the life of the university as well as his work in leading the civil rights movement.”
King spoke at ONU on Jan. 11, 1968.
Lomax was the Kiwanis Club’s guest on Jan. 22. He said that King’s talk occurred in the midst of his ‘poor people’s campaign’ and was at the beginning of Dr. King talking against the Vietnam War.
The Ada Exempted Village Schools had a pipe that was part of the fire suppression system burst in the elementary portion of the K-12 building at approximately 4 p.m. on Monday, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
“The rupture alerted the district’s security company, which dispatched the Ada Fire Department and administrators, who responded quickly,” said Skilliter.
Area affected included several hallways, the K-12 gymnasium, the library and a few classrooms.
A water mitigation service was summoned by the district to assist with clean-up shortly after the incident occurred.
