Letter: Retired Ada teacher on Permanent Improvement Levy

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, October 11, 2023

As a teacher in the Ada Schools for forty-three years and a lifelong Bulldog, I am asking you to vote FOR the upcoming permanent improvement RENEWAL on the November ballot. This issue is a RENEWAL only and will NOT increase anyone’s tax burden. A vote FOR this issue is a vote FOR our children.  

The money this levy generates allows the Ada Schools to purchase those items of a permanent nature that are not part of the day-to-day expenses of the school.  It is not used for salaries, benefits or any items of that nature.  This levy passed and has been renewed each time it has appeared on the ballot since 1995. The Ada Schools appreciate your support on this issue. 

Sincerely, 

Dave Lusk
Ada Schools, retired

One purple and gold team was guaranteed to win when similarly-colored Northwest Conference foes Ada and Leipsic met in the final league volleyball match of 2023 Tuesday night, October 10.

Unfortunately for the host Bulldogs they lost in three sets to the Vikings in their regular season and home finale 25-9, 25-18, 25-16.

The Bulldogs dropped to 12-10 overall, and finished 2-6 in the NWC with the defeat. Ada ended up seventh in the nine-team league.

Leipsic finished second in the NWC at 7-1 with the victory that improved their overall record to 14-2. The hard-hitting Vikings also shared the Putnam County League crown with Miller City at 5-1.

“Leipsic had great hitters,” said Bulldog head coach Kyleigh Woodruff. “They were solid defensively; there were just not many openings for us to hit into.

“Leipsic put the ball away on their hits,” she added.

Letter: Dig for a Cure raises $2,370

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, October 11, 2023

A letter from coach Kyleigh Woodruff and the Ada High School volleyball team:

Ada’s volleyball team held our annual Dig for a Cure event on Monday, October 2nd to battle against cancer and raise money for The Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) Network Foundation. This year Ada and Upper Scioto Valley schools worked together to raise a grand total of $2,370.12.  A breakdown of our total amount raised includes: $951 on raffle baskets, $631.50 at our bake sale, $89 on our serving game, $414.62 donations during “Storm the Fans”, and $284 on t-shirt sales.  This grand total would not have been possible without the generous donations that we received from not only both teams and staff but also our community.
