October 16th is Bosses Day and October serves as Principal Appreciation Month and our Sunshine Committee made sure to celebrate our amazing leaders who guide, support, and inspire our Bulldog family every day! 💛
Superintendent Mrs. Simmons, along with principals Dr. Lee, Dr. Devier and Mrs. Maag were surprised with thoughtful gifts and plenty of smiles from our Sunshine group — a team of teachers and staff dedicated to spreading positivity and joy throughout Ada Schools. 🌻
Thank you to our administrators for your leadership, care, and commitment to making Ada Schools a brighter place to learn and grow! 🖤💛 #AdaBulldogs #PrincipalAppreciationMonth #BossesDay #BulldogPride #SpreadingSunshine
Students in Mr. Crawford’s Applied Construction & Manufacturing Technology class have been putting their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test. Over the past few weeks, they’ve learned how to interpret engineering drawings — and recently took on a challenge with no dimensions provided!
Using their knowledge of drawing scales and architect tools, students calculated measurements, cut parts on the miter saw, assembled with glue and nails, and finished their projects with paint or stain. The result? A custom-built wall shelf they can proudly display! 🪚📏
👏 Great work, Bulldogs — applying knowledge, building skills, and creating something to show for it!

Our Kindergarteners had a special visit from Officer Penny, who came to talk about the important role police officers play as community helpers! 💙
Students learned about the tools and equipment officers use to keep people safe — and even got to see some of them up close. To make the visit extra fun, Officer Penny gave each student a badge sticker and a coloring page! ✨
Her goal is to help our youngest Bulldogs feel comfortable, curious, and confident when they see law enforcement in our community. We’re excited to be part of her new group, Copsicle Kids — where learning about safety and kindness goes hand in hand with building positive connections! 🚓💛
