Nina Buchan is a sophomore psychology major at Ohio Northern University. She lives on campus, attends classes by herself and manages to keep up with her studies.
Not unusual, except that according to official records, Nina is just 5 years old.
As far as this publication can determine, Buchan is the only ONU student and, possibly the only Ada resident, with a Feb. 29 birthday.
As we look forward to this extra Leap Year day on Saturday, Buchan expects a rather quiet birthday celebration. A little more hoopla may be in order when you consider that she has a birthday just once every four years!
Ada Public Library invites patrons to take the Dr. Seuss Read Challenge during March. The challenge begins as the library celebrates the famous author's birthday on Monday, March 2.
Visit the library, complete a Dr. Seuss activity sheet and, who knows what prizes you may win.
