Can you guess what Bluffton middle school student celebrates its 20th birthday this weekend?
While this appears as a trick question – who could be in middle school at age 20? – it is the real thing.
The answer: It's the entire middle school building. The inaugural date that the middle school opened is Jan. 19, 1999.
To commerate its 20th birthday Kyle Leatherman, principal, will provide cake, cookies and cupcakes for the staff and students during the lunch hour on Friday, Jan. 18.
Anticipating a potential snowstorm and colder-than-normal temperatures over the next few days, the Icon can help organizations needing to announce a quick decision on a meeting cancellation or change of plans.
Our intention is to post your announcement as soon as we receive it. We will post individual cancellation announcements as received. We will also add each new announcement to a larger story that lists all cancellations collected.
These will also be posted on Icon Facebook (we have over 3,000 area followers).
