One of the long-term goals of the committee is to include a way to get from the Parkview subdivision to the Motter Metro Park walking paths.
What we learned in grade school carries on for a lifetime. Here’s a poster in the hallway of the Bluffton elementary titled: Respect. Treat others the way you want to be treated…always, share, be kind, help, stay patient, raise your hand and listen.
Amanda Rhonemus:
I can honestly say that I loved being in marching band in high school. There was actually an award created for me called the "I Love Marching Band More Than Life Itself " award.
It was one of those things that people made fun of, but I absolutely loved. I don't know that I can put the feeling into words, but I can say that I always have and always will be a marching band geek.
