Letter: It's an honor serving as a Bluffton school board member

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 9, 2019 - 11:21am

Icon viewers:
It has truly been an honor serving as a Bluffton School board member for the past 11.5 years. 

I will finish my current term in December, I have enjoyed every minute of my three terms.  We have an amazing community that supports not only their own children, but all children in the district. 

We have custodians, cafeteria ladies, classroom helpers, bus drivers, secretaries and teachers that consider their positions at Bluffton far more than just a job, but a calling.
