The Ada Music Boosters have launched a new fundraiser to support the various Ada music programs from the 5th grade through the 12th grade.
According to the Boosters, "The money raised will support projects like Varsity Singers, Marching Band, Winterguard, Senior Flag Line, Junior High winterguard, Junior High choir and band, Senior High choir and concert band as well as the school musical."
The fundraiser is a GMACK Laundry Detergent program. The detergent and fabric softeners are liquid and in clear 5-gallon buckets with easy pump dispensers. Each 5-gallon bucket costs $45 and the money is due when the items are ordered.
It’s true. March came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. According to Guy Verhoff, Icon weather observer, here’s the March weather report:
The first day that March 2012 experienced a temperature above 39 was on March 7. Prior to that it was all 20s and 30s for highs.
Meanwhile the “low” maximum temperature during the final six days of the month was 40 on March 26. Following that it was all 40s and 50 temperature readings.
The March average temperature was 34.1 with the normal average a bit higher at 37.5. March 2013’s precipitation level reached only 1.31 inches. The March normal average is 2.71.
Amanda Bennett, Ada Public Library director, announced this week that the Ada Public Library has been chosen to be a World Book Night participant.
World Book Night U.S. is a celebration of books and reading held on April 23, when 25,000 passionate volunteers across America give a total of half a million books within their communities to those who don’t regularly read.
In 2012, World Book Night was celebrated in the U.S., the UK, Ireland, and Germany and saw over 80,000 people gift more than 2.5 million books.
