During Bluffton University's spring semester--which is wrapping up with finals the week of May 1--athletes visited Bluffton elementary and middle schools for a series of "High-five Fridays."

Baseball coach James Grandy reports that at first some children didn't know what to make of the line-up of young men and women who were there to encourage them and celebrate going to school.

By April 29, he notes, children were "sprinting through the line." It proved to be a fantastic experience for the university guests and K-12 school hosts.

On this most recent Friday, a young girl handed Grandy a stick to help build the Beaver dam!
