Traditionally, Ada 6th graders help their Village by mulching Railroad Park a few days before school is out for the summer.

This year, the 57 students put down many buckets of black mulch for two hours on Monday afternoon to make the flower beds look even more outstanding.

“Many hands make light work” says the English proverb. Sixth grade teachers assisting were Kim Guagenti, Kristie Reichert, and Kelsie Weber substituting for Chelsea Parson.
