Ada Academic Boosters Reading Carnival is Friday, May 13.
Students from Kindergarten through fifth grade will participate.
According to the boosters, the carnival serves as a reward for students for their reading efforts made throughout the school year.
Students receive tickets for reading. The tickets are then used to play games or to win prizes. The carnival also offers chances to win books from a guessing game.
The American Red Cross can help. The Red Cross will hold a babysitter's training from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday, June 2, in the Ada Presbyterian Church, accoding to June Zimmerman.
The course is recommended for youth ages 11 to 15. The instructor is a currently authorized American Red Cross Babysitter Training Instructor.
