Bluffton Community Preschool will host an open house from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 25, in First United Methodist Church, 116 Church St., according to Shelly Matijevich, director. The preschool is housed in the church.
The open house allows parents and caregivers to learn more about the preschool. It also enables them to see what the classrooms are like and other activities and events take place during the school.
There's lots of events scheduled, including testing, during the next six weeks in the Buffton elementary. Here's a list of some of those activities.

The Icon hopes someone does something.
According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the last day we experienced above freezing temperatures was on Wednesday, Feb. 11, when the thermometer reached all of 34 degrees.
We've only experience two February days with readings higher than 43. Thoses were two-day wonders, Feb. 7 and Feb. 8.
Meanwhile the "highest" low degree for February was 29 on Feb. 8.
