Bluffton Boy Scout troop 256 will “scout for food” this month, according to Brad Taylor.
On Saturday, March 6, Bluffton scouts will place door hangers on houses announcing the food drive.
Then on Saturday, March 13, Bluffton scouts will canvas the community to pick up donations placed on front porches.
Canned food and non-perishable items may be donated. As in previous years, the scouts are collecting food that will be donated to the Bluffton Community Assistance Program’s food pantry, located in the St. John’s United Church of Christ.
Bluffton schools will continue to use the four-day-per-week model with remote learning on Fridays for the final nine weeks of the academic year, according to Greg Denecker, superintendent.
And, the school district intends to start the 2021-2022 school year at five days a week.
February came in like a lion, remaining that in that animal form for three weeks.
And, without warning, a lamb took its place on the 22nd and has yet to leave.
According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the 28-day month began with a low of 8 degrees on Feb. 3 and ended with a high of 61 degrees on Feb. 28, a welcome 53-degree improvement.
Yet, during a 21-day stretch from Feb. 1 to 21, the temperature topped above freezing only twice, on the 4th and 21st.
