20 school years on the middle school cake
Where did the school years go?
On Jan. 19 the Bluffton Middle School celebrated its 20th birthday.
Kyle Leatherman, middle school principal, decided the event needed a birthday cake. So, on Friday during lunch students, staff and teachers had some cake and cupcakes, 20 years in the making.
Six of the teachers who were on the staff in 1998-99, and continue teaching this year, posed with the cake before it was cut into pieces.
Rhonda Maag created the cake.
Those staff members include: (classes taught in 1998-99 listed first; classes taught this year listed second)
