"Hey, mom, I'm on the ONU billboard"
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, September 7, 2020

You've seen this Ohio Northern University billboard north of Ada on State Route 235.

Now you can meet the student featured in the center of this enormous photo just outside of town. In case you missed this, the student photographed is standing in the field pointing to his picture.

Senior nursing student Jarrett Sitton walked into class one day to hear his instructor congratulate him on being famous. When he learned he was featured on a billboard just outside of Ada, Jarrett describes his reaction: “excitement wasn’t even the beginning of it.”

Right away, he called his mom to tell her the news, and of course, her first request was “send me a picture.”

Functional art

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, August 31, 2020

You work with what you have. If masks are the thing, then make masks. Ada Middle School art students are creating tie-dye masks. We can imagine that there will soon be a great demand for this product.

You might call it functional art. (From Ada Bulldogs Facebook)

It's all about surface tension

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, August 31, 2020

Attention parents of Ada middle school science students –

When you ask, "What did you do in school today?" you might hear this: "Do you know what surface tension is?"

To prove to your child that you are aware of scientific terms, just repond this way: "It's the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area."

Wow, bet you couldn't verbalize that in an impromptu speech if you were called for an explanation. Photos from Ada Bulldogs Facebook.
