💀🌼 Ada High School’s Language Club gathered to learn about Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) last week — a vibrant celebration that honors the lives of loved ones who have passed. Officially celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, this tradition has Mexican and Indigenous roots and is now embraced by many cultures around the world.
Students explored the meaning behind the holiday’s colorful customs and decorated their own “calaveras” (skulls) — both on sugar skulls and as cookie creations! 🍪🎨
It was a fun and meaningful way to learn about another culture’s traditions and the beauty of remembering those who came before us. ❤️💐 #AdaBulldogs #LanguageClub #DiaDeLosMuertos

🎓 College Credit Plus Students Explore ONU!
Last week, Ada High School CCP Calculus and Physics students spent the day at Ohio Northern University learning about the opportunities and resources available to support them as CCP students.
During their visit, students met with ONU faculty to dive into hands-on learning — exploring transistors, creating light-up name tags, and discussing the fascinating relevance of Knot Theory with the math department. They also toured Heterick Library to learn about tutoring and academic support services, and wrapped up their visit by stopping at Public Safety to get their ONU student ID photos taken!
Overall, it was a great experience for our students to explore a college campus, connect with professors, and get a glimpse of what college life is like. 🌟
