Enjoying the Heat Wave!
Ada students got a chance to bask in the sunshine last week. Students had the opportunity to enjoy their lunches picnic style during our unseasonably warm and sunny Spring weather.
Usually they do not have the chance to lunch outdoors until the end of the school year. Mother Nature was kind to us this year though and sent us a little preview of what was to come. Fresh air and sunshine does a lot to wet the appetite and promote good digestion. The rays also boosted everyone’s spirits! Hooray for sunshine!
