Eight Bluffton middle school students participating at the District Science Fair at Ohio Northern University in late March, according to Dave Bracy, science teacher.
Three students received Excellent scores and five received Superior scores and will move on to the State Science Fair competition on May 5.
Bluffton seventh and eight grade musicians earned several superiors and other otherstanding ratings at Saturday's junior high solo and ensemble contest.
