Teddy bears in Bluffton reacted to last month's nationwide craze of parking themselves in windows so that young children could look for them while riding in vehicles with their parents.

According to the Icon's count, 93 teddy bears participated in this project. Additional stuffed animals joined the fun including owls, llamas and even a beaver.

Bluffton schools will not conclude 2019-20 school year early

Closing early goes against ODE advice
Posted by Fred Steiner on May 6, 2020 - 4:46pm

Bluffton schools will not conclude the 2019-20 school year early, according to Greg Denecker, superintendent.

In a letter to parents and students posted on the school website, Denecker writes that some schools are ending the school year early, but not Bluffton. 

He states that decisions such as these (ending the school year early) are directly against what the Ohio Department of Education has advised schools to do with their academic calendars.
