All about school safety and security

BOOTS - Bulldogs for Ada Schools - working toward another level of safety in Ada schools
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 26, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
Safety and security are paramount in a school, so three mothers got together to spearhead a project called BOOTS for Bulldogs for the Ada Schools. The school system has instituted several policies and procedures to make the school campus as safe as possible.

The BOOTS for Bulldogs adds another level of safety for each classroom. So far, $11,500 out of a goal of $44,000 has been raised to keep danger out and allow safety in.

Mothers heading up the drive are Kristin Purdy, Hillary Buxton, and Amanda Henson.

Simplicity is The BOOTS strength. It can be put in place on a classroom door at a moment’s notice by anyone of any age.

They are twins and as twins both are Ada High School seniors, they are football players, and now both are also AHS lift-a-thon champions and record holders.

Nathan and Noah Mattson each lifted 450 pounds Friday night at the stadium.

They broke Mason Waugh’s record from last year at 445 pounds. Each year the football team holds a fundraiser to kick off the season.

The players get pledges for each pound they lift or a flat donation.

The kids were dressed as pirates and mermaids for the fun event, which included a treasure chest for each to decorate, nautical-themed food, and gifts.

A professional photographer was on hand to record the memorable occasion.
