🍂 Feeling the October dip? You’re not alone! As routines settle in and the days get shorter, our school social worker, Mrs. Badertscher, reminds us how important it is to take small micro-moments throughout the day to reset and recharge.
A few deep breaths, a quick stretch, or a short walk can make a big difference in focus and emotional balance. Check out this article https://www.ada.k12.oh.us/article/2494627 for more! Let’s take those mindful moments to keep our Bulldogs feeling their best! 💛🖤 #AdaBulldogs #BulldogWellness
Mrs. Wissman’s kindergarten class has been delighted by special surprise visits from Mystery Readers! For the last three weeks, a staff member from our building has brought their favorite book to share — but the students don’t know who it will be until the door opens! 👀
The excitement builds as clues are read and the class tries to guess who might be visiting. So far, Mrs. Fries (Speech Pathologist), Mrs. Dearth (Occupational Therapist), and Mrs. Heacock (School Nurse) have all stopped by with great stories — and perfect clues that helped the kiddos solve the mystery! 💛
These visits not only spark a love for reading, but also help our youngest learners build connections with staff throughout the school. What a fun way to share stories, smiles, and the joy of books! 🐾❤️ #AdaBulldogs #BulldogPride
This week, we’re recognizing School Bus Safety Week — a time to celebrate our dedicated bus drivers and remind everyone of the importance of staying safe on and around the bus! 🚦
Our Bulldog drivers work hard every day to make sure students arrive safely to and from school, field trips, and events. 💛 Let’s all do our part by practicing safe habits — watching for stop arms, staying seated, and being alert when buses are on the road.

Students in Mr. Crawford’s Applied Construction & Manufacturing Technology class have been putting their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test. Over the past few weeks, they’ve learned how to interpret engineering drawings — and recently took on a challenge with no dimensions provided!
Using their knowledge of drawing scales and architect tools, students calculated measurements, cut parts on the miter saw, assembled with glue and nails, and finished their projects with paint or stain. The result? A custom-built wall shelf they can proudly display! 🪚📏
👏 Great work, Bulldogs — applying knowledge, building skills, and creating something to show for it!
