As a service project, the Bluffton High School student senate decided to hold a money drive this winter. The money that was raised is going to benefit a few families in the surrounding area, according to Pam Riffle, student senate advisor.

A member of each of the families chosen is serving the the United States armed forces.

"This project was high school-wide and involved the grades competing against each other for the reward of a pizza party," she said.

The competition was close between all of the grades, but in the end the senior class won. Together the students at the high school raised about $886.

Members of the student senate are:

Seniors: Amanda Amstutz, Clay Atkins, Cory Hilty, Ryan Johnston

Juniors: Shannon McKamey, Danielle Rhonemus, Jared Staley, David Yoder

Sophomores: Jennifer Hieronimus, Michael Liska, Jamie Wickert, Mary Woodruff

Freshmen: Sierra Amstutz, Anna Crisp, Kory Enneking, Rachel Yoder.
