Recently, our American Sign Language (ASL) 3 and 4 classes had the opportunity to visit Liberty Village Preschool right here at Ada Exempted Village Schools!
ASL 3 students shared developmentally appropriate signs with the preschoolers, focusing on fun topics like animals, numbers, and food. ASL 4 students brought stories to life by reading popular children’s books and teaching signs that matched the stories.
Most importantly, this visit created meaningful connections between our littlest Bulldogs and our high school students. It was a wonderful example of learning, leadership, and Bulldog pride in action!

It’s another exciting week for Bulldog Athletics! Our student-athletes are ready to compete, and we’d love to see our Bulldog community out supporting them. Check out the schedule below and come cheer on Ada!
Ada Exempted Village Schools is honored to partner with the Ada VFW, the Walt & Terri Bettinger Foundation, the Class of 1963, and the Ada High School Alumni Association to create a lasting tribute: the Ada High School Military Wall of Honor.
This meaningful display will recognize Ada High School graduates who answered the call to serve our country through the U.S. Armed Forces—including the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves—whether by enlistment or commission. Their service represents courage, sacrifice, and a deep commitment to protecting our freedoms.
⭐ We can’t do this without you! If you are an Ada High School graduate who has served—or if you know a veteran who should be recognized—please submit their information using the Military Wall of Honor Submission Form through the website.
Together, let’s ensure the stories and service of our military alumni are honored, remembered, and celebrated for generations to come.

Ada Elementary fourth grade students had a fun incentive for reaching 100% of their Accelerated Reader (AR) goal for the second nine weeks—and they rose to the challenge!
This quarter, students who met their goal earned free admission for themselves and their family to an ONU double-header basketball game on Saturday, January 24. Students also receive a personalized certificate and were recognized at halftime of the game. In fourth grade, AR goals are individualized reading targets that encourage students to read books at their level and demonstrate strong comprehension.
👏 Congratulations to the 31 students who earned this reward through dedication, reading, and perseverance. We are so proud of you—keep up the great work!
