Community Letter by Dennis Recker, Ada interim school superintendent

Posted by Staff on Sunday, August 6, 2023

The following Community Letter by Interim Superintendent Dennis Recker was posted on the Ada Schools website on August 1.

Dear Ada School Community,

Thank you for selecting me to serve as interim superintendent for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. To have had your board of education allow me to serve as the lead administrator of a district that "aspire(s) to excel in all areas of the school experience" aligns with my personal/professional belief of what a school can provide its students, staff, and community when it fulfills its obligation to provide the needed resources to provide the best education possible for their youngsters. In turn, Ada's staff will fulfill its obligation of providing the highest levels of instruction, caring, and mentoring of the students entrusted to us as administrators, teachers, coaches, advisors, and classified support personnel.

Weekend Doctor: Safe caffeine consumption for children

Posted by Staff on Saturday, August 5, 2023

By Mike Leifheit, PharmD
Pharmacy Clinical Coordinator, Blanchard Valley Health System

Caffeinated beverages are no longer limited to just coffee and soda these days. Caffeine can be found in popular energy drinks, teas and loaded teas. Looking at loaded teas and energy drinks, you will find different amounts of vitamins, antioxidants, supplements and stimulants (mainly caffeine). Most of these products have trendy names and are advertised on social media platforms.

Products like energy drinks and loaded teas are sold as nutritional supplements which allow them to bypass some of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulations. As long as the label on these products contain the disclaimer “these supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA,” the product can make claims about increasing energy, enhancing performance and boosting the immune system.
