Now that school is in session, it's a time to remind elementary parents of several important pieces of information involving the new school year.
Here is a summary of that information from the elementary September newsletter. A copy of the newsletter is a printer-friendly attachment.
SCHOOL DAY: School begins at 8:10 a.m.daily. Parents should drop off their students in front of the elementary school between 7:55 and 8:10 a.m. Students that ride buses will be dropped off at the south entrance of the middle school.
Get ready for the Bluffton High School homecoming parade. It's the best small-town homecoming parade in northwestern Ohio.
It's Friday, Sept. 23. Line up is at the Centre at 5 p.m. The parade starts at 5:30 p.m.
According to Tracie Bricker of the BHS Football Moms: Please come join in the fun and be in the parade.
All organizations, business and family participants are welcome. Line up will begin at the Candy can be handed out from those walking. No candy can be thrown from the floats.
If you walk in Bluffton on a regular basis—whether you are getting from one place to another or are walking for your health—you’ve probably been both frightened and mad. Frightened by drivers who don’t even glance your way. Mad if you know that state law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians.
The Icon has updated its September calendar and viewers will find everything from:
• weekly organization meetings
• library programs
• community meals
• university events
• service clubs
• senior citizens
• school events
• community support groups
One of Bluffton’s rites of passage is entrance to first grade. In many ways it is a complete circle of the community.
There’s clothing to select, supplies to purchase, photos to take, classmates to meet, jitters (for students and parents) and the excitement of something new.
The Icon went to school with two cameras, plus a cell phone, to record the event.
Our photos below show several aspects of the first moments of the first day.
