Reading with Benz

Ada fourth graders who met the reading challenge recognized at ONU men's game
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 20, 2019

Here’s an Ada tradition worth reading about.

Ada fourth graders for several years have taken the Books with Benz reading incentive. “Benz” is really Rich Bensman, ONU men’s basketball coach.

Each fall Coach Bensman and several players on the ONU men’s team visit Ada fourth graders. The visit emphasizes the importance of reading.

Books with Benz reading incentive inspires fourth graders to read.  In a men’s game, earlier this week, students who met or exceeded the reading challenge were recognized at halftime after getting into the game free. And, of course, special reading shirts come with the incentive – and the fourth graders are wearing them in the photo.

First grade art exhibit causes major snowfall in Ada

You may see for yourself at the public library this month
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 13, 2019

Funny thing. Ada's snowfall this season was nowhere until an exhibit of snowmen, snowwomen and snowpeople appeared at the Ada Public Library.

The exhibit by Ada first grade artists must have shaken loose the sky above Ada. This weekend, well, you know...it snowed and snowed and snowed.

The first grade artist exhibit displays much imagination. Viewers will notice at least one snowwoman with eyelashes.

Other observations from this art critic: The artists carry much tradition. For example, what are those black small circles in the pictures? They certainly aren't pieces of coal. Ada's coal yard is decades gone. Yet, there they are.

Elementary students loved the show

Varsity Singers performed on Friday
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 13, 2019

Ada Varsity Singers gave a special performance of this year’s show to Ada elementary students on Jan. 11.

Based on comments posted on Ada Bulldogs Facebook the performance was a huge hit.

“Little Red” (as in Little Red Riding Hood) is this year’s Varsity Singers show theme. Vocalists are directed by Scott Henning and instrumentalists are directed by Jonathan Lischak. Varsity Singers have 28 singers, 13 band members, and 4 crew members.

Oshra Gadkar, an ONU student, is choreographer. Aleece Al-Olimat, an AHS sophomore, is pianist.

Music and costumes from the 1940s-1950s era add nostalgia to this year’s show.
