Welcome to the Ada Icon's "Ada Teacher Feature." Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students.

Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well. Today we meet Kristie Steiner, art teacher. It was Georgia O'Keefe who said, "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

Kristie is helping our students learn to express themselves and find what interests them, too.

Sometimes you find scary or unusual things in the woods. An Ada Icon camera caught a snowman shaped like a leprechaun in a woods on campus on Saturday. Will him/her last til March 17? Sadly, probably not.

What is it about dogs and snow?

There's something about an attraction - or need - to stick your snout in the snow and snort. You probably have a selfie of your dog in a similar pose. 

This is Monty's Siekerman's dog, Abby, doing what dogs do when it snows.

 

It finally snowed.

Monty Siekerman and Ken Collins took advantage of the white stuff. They took their cameras outdoors and fired away, in what we hope is winter's last gasp.

Enjoy the views.
