Ada police, fire, and EMS converged on Ada Schools on Thursday afternoon—not for an emergency but for a fun time.

Representatives of the three departments met students at the school doors at dismissal time. Santa and the Grinch were there, too. 

School is out for winter break, which is a happy enough occasion for most students. The greetings and candy canes handed out by the first responders made school dismissal even more exciting.
