If it's pizza for supper, consider Ada's newest pizza shop's options

Ada is well-known for great pizza shops.

Now there’s a new shop in town and the ingredient options are, well, out of this world.

Ada third graders, working in art class, developed a collage project that is one-of-a-kind.

According to Kristie Steiner, art teacher, students were asked to create their very own pizza, name it and name the toppings.

These aren’t plain-old cheese pizzas. Each was required to have five toppings and to show texture.

Steiner said that pizza project was a great success and it also carried over to computer class as well.
