This week we are talking with Trenton Donley (Mrs. Bogart’s class), Nicole Boyle (Mrs Kingsley’s), Peyton Gallant (Mr. Armstrong’s class), and Olivia Parker (Mrs. Raeburn’s class). This is part of the continuing series of interviews with Bluffton third graders. Note: This interview got off to a slow start because the interviewer mistakenly referred to the students as fourth graders and there were long pauses for answers, until this issue was straightened out.
