Where were you born and raised? Share some information about your family -- parents, siblings, etc. Where do they all live?

By Maia Woods-Yee, BHS student

This is a story in the continuing series of stories written by BHS art students. The stories involve a story with photos.

Students at Bluffton High School  recently painted rain barrels for a decorating contest being sponsored by the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership.

The students will be painting the barrel,s which will be set up so people can sit around them, but they will also be judged. The barrels are going to be shown at Findlay Village Mall from Wednesday, May 1, through Saturday, May 4.

This week The Icon talked with third graders, Neo Walther (Mrs. Kingsley’s class), Justin Bishop (Raeburn), Brooklyn Smallwood (Bogart) and Kaden Basil (Armstrong).

Is fourth grade going to be more difficult than third grade?
Brooklyn:
It’s going to be harder.
Neo: Harder tests and harder homework. We’ll have three papers to do.
Justin:  We’ll switch classes.
Kaden: It’s a pain to switch that quick. (Switch classes)

Earth Day was the perfect day for third and fourth year pharmacy students from Ohio Northern University to present a program at Maple Crest, Bluffton, on the proper use of prescription drugs and the proper disposal of out-of-date medications, which includes the issue of environmental protection. 

The students are members of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP), an organization that specifically focuses on “empowering pharmacists to enhance the quality of care for all older persons through the appropriate use of medication and the promotion of healthy aging.”
