Dr. Beth Gray stopped by to share her incredible carnivorous plant collection, and it was a HUGE hit. Students were captivated as they learned how these unique plants collect nitrogen to survive—science in action at its finest!
Thank you, Dr. Gray, for bringing such a fascinating hands-on lesson to our students! 🌿✨
🎄Ada Schools Give Back to Our Troops This Holiday Season 🎄
Ada students are spreading holiday cheer across the globe! ❤️🎁 This year, several classes created handmade Christmas ornaments that will be sent to U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait — a special part of Operation Evergreen, an annual project organized by the Ohio Christmas Tree Association.
Through Operation Evergreen, Kaleidoscope Farms and other Ohio tree growers donate live Christmas trees that are shipped overseas to bring a touch of home to our active military members during the holidays. 🎄✈️
A big thank-you to the students (and teachers!) who shared their creativity and care in this meaningful project:
✨ Mr. Crawford
✨ Mrs. Preston
✨ Mrs. Jones
✨ Mrs. Woodruff
✨ Mr. Dettering & Mrs. Amburgey
✨ Mrs. Wissman
✨ Mrs. Fries
We’re so proud of our Bulldogs for helping make the season brighter for those serving our country! 💙❤️
