Apollo Career Center superintendent Keith Horner has issued the following invitation to the communities served by the ACC high school:

Greetings from Apollo Career Center!

This is your official invitation to one of our biggest celebrations. We are always excited this time of year because of the great events ahead: Signing Day, National Honor Society Induction and Senior Honors Night.

One that may be of particular interest to you is ApolloPalooza, Thursday, April 13, 5:30-7:00 p.m. ApolloPalooza is a campus-wide, community celebration of partnerships, programs, students, alumni, community members and career tech education. Apollo Career Center, unlike most public schools, does not have the traditional extracurricular activities that allow us to open the building to the public. Furthermore, high school and adult classes are happening day and night so the campus is always in use. For ApolloPalooza, all labs and classrooms, adult education and high school, will be open for tours, demos and hands-on activities.

A Bluffton Community First Responders Appreciation Breakfast was hosted by Bluffton Middle School students on March 31. The event was heartwarming as well as somber. It marked the first anniversary of the line of duty death of Bluffton Police Officer Dominic Francis and it provided the students with an opportunity to express their appreciation to the men and women who protect our community as well as respond to emergencies on the roads, in workplaces and in our homes.

CORRECTION: We left the hours out! The garage sale is 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Thursday-Friday and 9:00 a..m.-1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

In the mood for a good garage sale? So far, Spring 2023 has only sent one true garage sale–the kind where you walk up the driveway and see what’s on hand–the Icon’s way.

However, this week from Thursday, March 30 to the morning of Monday, April 3, the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center will provide a great big, warm and dry garage sale indoors at 132 N. Main.
