Ada schools Kindergarten registration for 2015-16 takes place Monday through Friday, March 9-13, according to Robin VanBuskirk, principal.

Registration is open from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. In addition, registration times are from 5 to 8 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday, March 11-12. 

"Your child will not need to attend with you during the registration," said VanBuskirk. During registration parents and caregivers will be able to set up a time for the children's kindergarten screening. That takes place May 5 and 6.

They are members of the Ada High School class of 1984 - but during ther sophomore year (1981-82) they were class officers. Can you name them?

Their names are listed under the photo. Click on image to enlarge.

What's a Bull Bear?
The Konnor Baker story, which was highly popular on Ada Icon, taught us a new term: Bull Bear. Seems that Ada High School athletes who also become standout players at the local university are called Bull Bears, the partial name of each schools' mascots...AHS Bulldogs/ONU Polar Bears, clever idea.

Thanks to Conelia Sauvie Dixon, an alumna of both schools, a Bulldog and Polar Bear, hence a Bull Bear, for adding a new term to my lexicon.

Ada Roads
Ada has 21 miles of roads of roads, including village and state routes. That's like driving from here to Dunkirk and back.
