Missy Lonsway appointed postmaster earlier this spring

Meet Missy Lonsway, Bluffton’s new postmaster.

Earlier this spring when she was appointed to the position she added her name to the long-standing list in the town’s history.

Lonsway’s post office career began in North Baltimore in 2002 when she became a temporary clerk.

Racheal Lewis has an interesting way to get students to play scales

Bluffton schools strings teacher Rachael Lewis’s enthusiasm for music – well, it’s nearly impossible to describe.

VIEW THE PHOTOS BELOW -

That enthusiasm carries over to her creative musical teaching method. Imagine getting students excited about playing scales - especially in the summer.

During this photo shoot of a summer strings class with fourth-graders-going-into-fifth-grade, Lewis asked each student: “Hailey, what did you have for breakfast?”

(What does that have to do with playing a string instrument?)
