In partnership with the United Way and with support from Quest Federal Credit Union and OhioHealth, Ada Middle & High School is excited to offer the Bulldog Food Pantry Program to students in grades 6–12.
Through this program, meals and non-perishable food items will be sent home with participating students each Friday for the remainder of the school year. The goal is to help provide food for students over the weekend. Parents can discontinue the program at any time.
This program is designed to support families who may be struggling to make ends meet. Participation is completely optional and confidential. Food will be discreetly placed in participating students’ lockers in a provided Bulldog Backpack each Friday.

Students worked together to rescue Fred, the gummy worm, after his boat (a cup) capsized! Using communication, problem-solving, and a whole lot of teamwork, students worked together to get Fred safely back on board.
What a fun way to practice working together while learning that sometimes the best solutions come from a great team!






Kindergarteners are making their mark in Ms. Swaney’s room!
Students had so much fun reading The Dot and talking about how everyone is unique, creative, and capable of making their own mark. After reading, students got creative and made their very own dot artwork using watercolors!
They also brought some candy dots into their math lesson! Students sorted and graphed the dots by color on the class chart while practicing counting, comparing, and talking about the data.
What a fun day of reading, creating, and learning!






It’s time to smile, Bulldogs! Be sure to mark your calendars for our upcoming school picture days:

Congratulations, Mrs. Hall! We are so grateful you are a Bulldog!

From keeping our technology running behind the scenes to troubleshooting the unexpected, Mr. Freed plays an important role in helping our students and staff stay connected, supported, and ready to learn each day. Thank you!

Choice Days give students the freedom to explore their own interests, try new ideas, and let their creativity take the lead. And as you can see, our young artists didn’t disappoint!
We love seeing our Bulldogs turn their unique ideas into something all their own! Keep creating, 3rd graders!




Students learned the proper way to approach and interact with Dolly—and, of course, they got to hear about some of Dolly’s favorite things!
Our students asked some thoughtful questions and were excited to get some cuddle time with Dolly. Welcome to Ada Schools, kindergarteners! We’re glad you’re here!
