Bluffton school enrollment is anticipated at more than 1,225, the largest enrollment here in 20 years. That fact, plus an update the school year, which begins Monday, Aug. 26, are in the summer school newsletter, attached at the bottom of this story.
Here is a partial overview of the year by Greg Denecker, superintendent. His complete overview is in the newsletter.
We are excited to welcome over 1,225 students into our district on the first day of school. This is our largest district enrollment since 1999-2000.
This week U.S. 30 eastbound at Thayer Road will be restricted to one lane through the work zone for the addition of a right-hand turn lane at the intersection. Work is being performed by the ODOT Allen County maintenance garage.
Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center continues to provide quality of cancer care with the addition of a TrueBeam system – the latest in radiotherapy technology.
The TrueBeam system, from Varian Medical Systems, delivers more powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision. It integrates imaging and motion management technologies that makes it possible to deliver treatments more quickly while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion.
