The Ada Icon reported last week that Blue Star Mothers in Hardin County were placing a box at the Ada Schools, hoping for donations that they would send to men and women in the military who were serving overseas. Ada elementary students' response to their FOCUS lesson last week (to provide pictures, cards and donations for Blue Star Mothers to send in care packages for soldiers for Christmas) has been overwhelming. The students created beautiful artwork and wrote loving letters and cards. The students and their parents have donated many items, as well. The drop off box in the high school office has been emptied once and was overflowing again on Thursday.
