Posted by Fred Steiner on May 4, 2020 - 2:49pm

The following letter is from Greg Denecker, Bluffton school superintendent.

Dear Parents and Students -
I write this letter to you with a great deal of emotion. As the parent of a Senior, I know full-well the disappointment that you are feeling, as COVID-19 has disrupted so many of the events and celebrations we had envisioned enjoying with our children as they mark this milestone of completing their K-12 education.

Like you, I am working to keep things in perspective, and I remain grateful for my family for our Bluffton community.
