The way we vote should reflect what we believe in.
As Americans, we have been given the ballot box to express our values and desires for how the country is run. The results of elections end up affecting so many aspects of our lives – our personal safety and well-being – as well as our national defense, our taxation, our ability to invest (with or without government intrusion), how we raise our families, our retirement, and more.

Bluffton schools offers lunch to go for pickups on Fridays, as school on that day is remote this fall. Students need to sign up by Thursdays to have a Friday lunch.
Take out lunches are available on Fridays at the middle school front entrance from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Students need to go to the school website and click on district lunches at the top of the page, and then “lunch to go sign-up.”
