In cooperation with Ada schools, the Ada Icon will post each of the Ada High School class of 2020 seniors in the spotlight. Kianna Green is today's senior in the spotlight.
It reads like, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus," letter to eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon from Francis Pharcelus Church, editor of the New York Sun newspaper.
Only, it's from Jasmine Gibson to all the teachers in Ada. It's one of over a dozen thank you notes written by students in Mrs. Winklejohn's elementary art classes and posted on the Ada Bulldogs Facebook.
The thank you notes cover just about every occupation of essential workers that you can list – you will see several examples at the bottom of this story and by clicking here (to the Ada Bulldogs Facebook).
Anyone watching gasoline prices this spring can't help but notice the huge price drop in one gallon. On March 11 Ada customers paid a little over $2.19 per gallon. On April 24 the per gallon price had dropped over $1.
Testing will be made available in the greater Lima region for hospitalized patients at all local hospitals, healthcare workers, patients in long-term care facilities and first responders, among others
Lima Memorial Health System and Ohio Northern University have a longstanding clinical affiliation, which accelerated to a whole new level as the two organizations partnered to bring PCR molecular testing for COVID-19 to the greater Lima region.
This is the same method being used by the Ohio Department of Health. ONU provided essential equipment to enable Lima Memorial to provide this critical testing.
Dr. Dennis De Luca, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Ohio Northern University and Molecular Specialist, helped lead the initiative on behalf of Ohio Northern University.
