By Mike Minnig Bluffton HS principal This column is from the spring Bluffton school newsletter.
In this month of May, I urge parents to help keep their sons and daughters focused on finishing the year strong.
Many of our students are involved in extra-curriculars and, at this time of the year, can see the days of summer ahead testing their time-management skills. Setting aside time to study, do homework, complete final projects, and prepare for final exams helps ensure a successful end to the year.
