May 18 Night at the Museum (at Bluffton Middle School)
From 6:00-7:00 p.m. on May 18, Bluffton Middle School will host the annual Night at the Museum featuring exhibits by grades 6, 7 and 8.
The community is invited to experience this "living museum" where students present their research on countries (6th grade), historical figures (7th grade),
and careers (8th grade).
Some students dress up as historical figures, others as workers in different professions. Students create poster presentations on their topics and are prepared to introduce visitors to their research.
In 2016, eight Bluffton Middle School teachers were recognized by the Ohio Department of Education for their efforts in creating the Night at the Museum program.
The living museum took a break for the pandemic. In past years, as many as 900 visitors came to the one-night event.
