Here's what's for lunch in March

Are your buying or packing your lunch at Ada schools this month?

It all depends upon what's on the menu. To view Ada school menus for March, click here.

If February was so short, why was it so cold?

And, who ordered 14.7 inches of snow?

February came in like a lion, remaining that in that animal form for three weeks.

And, without warning, a lamb took its place on the 22nd and has yet to leave.

According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the 28-day month began with a low of 8 degrees on Feb. 3 and ended with a high of 61 degrees on Feb. 28, a welcome 53-degree improvement.

Yet, during a 21-day stretch from Feb. 1 to 21, the temperature topped above freezing only twice, on the 4th and 21st.

Ada teachers and staff take the first step

Nearly 85 vaccinations given on Friday by ONU HealthWise Pharmacy staff

Vaccinations bring images to mind of elementary students visiting a doctor prior to school opening.

The tables switched on Friday. Ada school teachers and staff members had their turn receiving vaccines. They received their first of two doses of the Moderna covid-19 vaccine.

Ohio Northern University HealthWise Pharmacy staff members vaccinated nearly 85 adults in the three-hour clinic, which delayed the start of school until 10:35 a.m.

Meri Skilliter, Ada superintendent, said that the school appreciates its relationship with the ONU pharmacy program and thanked them for setting up and administering the clinic.
