Ada staff and teacher vaccinations moved to Feb. 26

Scheduled 2-hour delay now set for next Friday - not tomorrow
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 18, 2021

In the end it all comes down to the weather.

Ada school's anticipated teacher and staff vaccination date originally set for Feb. 19 is rescheduled for Friday, Feb. 26.

Meri Skillier, Ada superintendent said, "We were planning a two-hour delay on Friday, Feb. 19, in order to accommodate the Covid 19 vaccination of our teachers and staff.  

"As is consistent with this world over the last 11 months, we’ve run into a small roadblock.

"Because of the widespread winter weather systems across the Midwest and the East coast, the shipment of vaccines earmarked for Ada Schools and aimed toward our provider, Ohio Northern University, have been delayed."

"A naturally gifted artist"

Rebekah Walker, Ada HS senior, is Icon's February artist of the month
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 18, 2021

Rebekah Walker, Ada High School senior, is the Icon's February artist of the month.

Rebekah is currently in Art 4.  She has taken Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3.

"Art has always been a part of my life," she said. "I remember in eighth grade Mr. Wells saw a drawing I was doing and told me that he really wanted me to take high school art. I've taken art every year since. In my free time I enjoy creating drawings and paintings for friends."  

Rebekah stands beside a picture of pop bottles that she painted on top of pop bottle caps.

"Believe it or not, it was originally going to be a picture of a 'fox' but, this just made more sense to me," she said.
