Ella and her dad, Dr. Sam Heiks, make their trek to the first day of school in the rain on Monday. They were among scores of students and parents who dropped of their children on the annual rite of passage.
Let's have a little fun before school starts. Bluffton High School's summer band camp is now behind us, but the photos live on.
Thanks to Rachael Lewis, The Icon can share lots of band camp memories with Icon viewers - including BHS band alumni who know the drill and who have been there.
We provide three sets of photos for your enjoyment.

And while on the subject, here's another plug for band alums to join in the alumni band fun happening on a football field near you soon:
Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio will be the recipient of nearly $1,500 as a result of a benefit dance held Saturday night at the Findlay Senior Center.
Night Jazz, a 21-piece Findlay area swing band, played three sets over three hours before a crowd of about 200 people at the event.
Blufftonite Alisa Diller plays trombone for the band and was featured on several solos throughout the night including her take on Tommy Dorsey's theme song "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You."
The descendents of Russell and Josephine Huber, lifelong Richland Township residents, met for a family reunion recently. Every family has a story, and this family of Hubers certain has some good ones.
Rather than putting it all in sentence form, here are some of the interesting bits of information shared with The Icon by the family.
Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton, invites the public to its annual community "Concert on the Lawn," at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 19.
