As a parent, I find it important to know the adults in my children’s lives, both in and out of school. Few adults can drop off a child in the morning, or pick them up in the afternoon and not be aware of certain people, especially one wearing a safety vest.

It’s certainly a rare thing to not be familiar with who Tim Closson is, and I find myself extremely impressed and appreciative of his efforts to assist our children as they cross the intersection in front of the Elementary School building each day.

Bluffton's oldest annual event - the Bluffton High School commencement - took place for the 135th time Saturday evening. Here is the Bluffton High School class of 2016. Watch the video below.
