Pi Day Challenge – Accepted & Conquered! Ada students stepped up to the Pi Day Challenge on 3.14.26—memorizing as many digits of pi as possible for the chance to “pie” a teacher in the face… and they did not disappoint!
👏 Congratulations to our top two winners:
Aubrey Luellen – 105 digits
Daphnie Shaw – 84 digits
Aubrey chose Mrs. Andre, and Daphnie selected Mr. Deitering to take the pie—thank you both for being such great sports! We’re so proud of all the students who participated and rose to the challenge. Way to go, Aubrey and Daphnie, for going above and beyond!

Wellness Day Recap! Today, our Middle School and High School students and staff took part in a special Wellness Day to focus, reset, and celebrate the end of the 3rd quarter!
Taking an intentional pause to have fun, refocus, and de-stress does so much more than recharge our students—it helps everyone push through and finish the year strong. These moments allow everyone to connect on a more personal, non-academic level, strengthening the relationships that make our school community so special.
Some of the rotations were: Pep Rallies, Movies, Tai Chi, Board Games, Singo, Mario Cart, Just Dance, Arts, Reading, Nature Walk, Cornhole, Zen Den and more!
Check out some highlights from today’s activities—we’re proud of the positive energy, smiles, and connections made throughout the day!

Team members: Ellie Lee, Harper Rigsby, Hazel Timpe, Lucy Porter, Makenna Szippl, Max Wile, and Rosemary Gargac
Also competing in the Technical Challenge “Win it Big,” this team created a game show where contestants spin a wheel of peril, perform daring feats, and sometimes trip over a conveniently placed rock! Their project incorporated mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering, and judges were especially impressed with their use of hydraulics to open doors. 3rd Place – Advancing to the State Tournament on March 28! Team members: Ada Porter, Callum McAlpine, Charlie Wile, Claire Porter, Hailey Rigsby, and Joseph Gargac

Mrs. Alt’s Precalculus class recently took learning beyond the classroom with an exciting visit to the Ohio Northern University College of Engineering!
Students participated in hands-on STEM workshops where they explored how math, science, design, collaboration, and revising ideas all play an important role in engineering. Throughout the day, they tackled several engaging challenges. They designed protective devices to keep a grape from getting crushed while learning about highway crumple zones, explored the world of cybersecurity and encryption, and even built their own hovercrafts!
It was a fantastic opportunity for students to experience real-world engineering, think creatively, and work together to solve problems. Thank you to Ohio Northern University for hosting such an inspiring day of learning!
