Not your typical Community VBS this summer

Spread over five weeks this year's program takes place in your home
Posted by Fred Steiner on June 1, 2020 - 3:58pm

Drive-thrus aren’t just for fast food.

The pandemic-adapted Bluffton Community Vacation Bible School will lead children on a discovery of Who Is My Neighbor? Learning to Love Like Jesus over five weeks this summer. 

Children will complete each session in their own homes.

Spreading out VBS over the course of five weeks instead of five consecutive days is intended to give children and families something to look forward to throughout our pandemic summer days.

If this is any indication of what will happen at 3 p.m., Wednesday, June 3, at Southgate Lanes, then it should be an event to remember.

Sit back and watch the 139th Bluffton High School commencement

Video shows that "in distance we unite"
Posted by Fred Steiner on May 31, 2020 - 4:45pm

It carries all the pomp and circumstance of any graduation ceremony, but it is one of a kind in the 139-year history of Bluffton High School commencements.

The Bluffton High School commencement tradition is the longest-standing annual event in our community. It didn’t take place this year, or did it? The answer is both yes and no. 

The live, audience commencement was tabled. However, the school put together a video of what it would have  looked like, had it actually taken place.
