Last day of school - first hug of summer. Bluffton's school year ended on May 30. Here is part of the celebration in front of the elementary building. Click for a video.
Bluffton University has announced reductions in employment levels effective July 1.
"These reductions are in response to Bluffton's need to operate on a somewhat smaller scale which is in better alignment with current enrollment," President James M. Harder said. "These are difficult decisions because they affect members of this community whose work has been important to the university and who are our colleagues and friends."
Can you tell? School's out for summer. Eighth graders to be freshmen, from left, Rachel Moser, Sara Matter and Kaity King show their excitment when then final bell of the year rang. Watch for a video soon.
