Cheerleaders rev up the crowd at the bonfire on Wednesday evening at the Ada Schools in anticipation of the Homecoming game on Friday evening.
The band was there to add enthusiasm. Football players, students in all grades, parents, school staff were all there to fire up the crowd. Even a few firemen (and their truck) were on hand to keep an eye on the flames.
Unexpectedly, the Ada Icon camera caught a few Hawaiians, a puppy, and a walking banana at the bonfire. It was a perfect evening for a pep rally at twilight.
Last night, the school was informed that one of the junior high football players had a skin infection that is suspected to be MRSA. In response, we have disinfected multiple classrooms and restrooms. We have also cleaned out and disinfected the entire junior high football locker room including all football gear and uniforms. The junior high football game scheduled for tonight at Crestview will go on as normal. The student with the suspected infection will not be participating until cleared. If you have any additional questions, please contact the high school office.

The Ada Exempted Village Schools has registered with the Safer Schools Ohio Tip Line.
Research shows that most threats to schools have clues that are missed or ignored. Students and parents have more access to social media of students than schools do.
The Safer Schools Ohio Tip Line is manned by Homeland Security and Law Enforcement professionals trained to quickly assess a threat and to contact and work with school administrators and local law enforcement/county Sheriff/School Resource Officers.
The tip line can be used to report anything suspicious or endangering to students, their friends, or their school.
