Ada HS class of 1963 donates to "Boots"
The Ada High School class of 1963 did it again.
Class members from the AHS graduating class of 1963 donated $1,425 to the Boots for Bulldogs campaign to help secure the doors and place placards at each door of the Ada schools.
The presentation was made on Aug. 31, to Kristin Purdy, one of the three persons spearheading the fundraiser. She said she would like to challenge other classes to do the same.
In 2013 the class collected over $8,400 to pay for and have the brick patio installed on the south side of the school, east of the cafeteria entrance.
This area also included a flag pole and the large bench with the Ada High School capstone of the old building.
Each graduate is named on one of the bricks as well as a larger brick with the name of the Class of 1963. This area has been used many times as a photo opportunity area and has been chosen again as a special place to present the check to the Boot fundraiser. Several of the 40 remaining classmates were able to attend this presentation.
