ONU students Jerrod Amstutz and Austin Hilverding, co-coordinators of Ada Friends, hosted Ada's biggest Christmas party on Sunday.
Ada Friends matches Ada kindergarteners through eighth graders with an Ohio Northern University student mentor.
On Sunday you might say the two students played a bit of Santa during the Friends Christmas party.
They helped over 90 ONU students and their elementary matches enjoy Christmas as they decorated cookies, – 17 dozen in all - wrote letters to Santa, created Christmas tree ornaments, pinned a nose on Rudolph and watched a Christmas movie. The two-hour party took place in McIntosh Center at ONU.
Students in the Ada High School Structural Engineering class recently completed a project using safety, measuring and woodworking skills.
They developed plans and built corn hole boards with John Deere and International themes.
Students in the class are, from left, Levi Bass, Conner Castle, Abby Peterson, Grant McBride, Lane Nitchie, Luke Long-Green, Chase Tomak, Gabe Gratz, Blake Hall, Tessa Coulson and Haley Clum.

What year did you graduate from Ada High School?
I am a proud member of Ada High School’s Class of 2013.
Can you remember who you sat beside in first grade?
• Hmm, that is a tough one, but I am fairly certain Russell Gray sat behind me at some point in Mrs. Beckley’s first grade class. I do remember a time where I turned around to tell him he was bugging me and to please stop but it just so happened to be the day where we were learning about insects so my comment only seemed to add fuel to his fire that day.
