It's prom week in Bluffton. Or, haven't you noticed?
This year's Bluffton High School prom is Saturday evening, April 21, in Marbeck Center. And, this year, the prom theme is "Vegas," which also matches the post-prom theme.
The decorated prom in Marbeck on the Bluffton University campus will be open to the public to view from 7:20 to 7:45 p.m.
Bluffton University will host its annual Academic Awards Forum at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 24, in Yoder Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Students to be honored include graduating seniors in the Honors Program, C. Henry Smith Scholars and Pi Delta inductees, as well as departmental award recipients, who are recognized as distinguished senior scholars. In addition, several seniors will present on their departmental honors projects.

Did you go to college, and, if so, what was your degree?
I went to University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) and earned my Bachelors in Business Administration and Marketing, and started my master's in 2012 for Arts and Organizational Behavior. (That's a fancy way of saying how to create corporate culture.)
It's the Week of the Young Child, and Bluffton Child Development Center students celebrate. Something special takes place each day. Tuesday was Teddy Bear's tea. Student brought a teddy bear or other favorite stuffed friend. The tea was lemonade. Two students in the 4-year-old class show their stuffed friends.
(Well, when it comes to incorporating and eating more veggies in your diet…..YES!)
Spring is in the air….Well, kind of. LOL
It’s that wonderful time of year when we look forward to everything coming to life again. Flowers blooming. Gardens being planted. Grass growing (well, unless you don’t like mowing). If you are like me, this comes with mixed feelings. I love all the possibilities of spring, but quickly feel overwhelmed by all there is to do.
