Eight-year-old Braylon Simon’s own experience at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, made him want to do something for other children who are patients there.
In April, 2018, Braylon, son of Jonathan and Kayla Simon of Bluffton, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Nodular Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
After four rounds of aggressive chemo, he is in his ninth month of remission.
To celebrate his first year of being cancer free – in August – he wants to have a toy drive for the Hematology and Oncology floors at Nationwide hospital, where he was treated.
The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton announces the winners of its “Service To Humanity” scholarship awards, given to graduating seniors of Bluffton High School.
The Club (Sharing Hopes And Nourishing Needs Of Neighbors) is an entirely local Bluffton volunteer organization that strives to make the Bluffton area a better place by serving its youth, its elderly and its needy.
Seventeen Blufton sixth graders and nine seventh graders took the spring Noetic Math Challenge in April, according to Dina Tadena, sixth and seventh grade math teacher.
There were 34,055 students who took the challenge from 47 states and 776 schools.
The following Bluffton students received national honorable mention, which means they scored in the top 50% of all of the students. Each grade had a team winner, based on the highest score from those that took the test.
