A Note From The Principal
Thanksgiving Meals
We certainly think about those things at Ada Christian as well, but we also find ways to be a blessing to those around us. One very special way we do that is how we choose to serve Mel Trotter Ministries, a local organization.
Our first graders did extra chores around their houses for family members and neighbors so they could earn money toward supporting Mel Trotter. They collected over $700.00, which equates to feeding 295 families this Thanksgiving!
In this picture, each dot on the turkey stands for one meal provided for someone in our own town! We are blessed to be a blessing!
