Lora of 167 Hillcrest Dr., Bluffton, says that his ability to be a good educator comes from the environment he works in.

"It's been an awesome time at Shawnee High School; I've been surrounded by really good people in the math department, we're all very close and we're not afraid to share our materials with each other - it's just been a great time," Lora said.

The Bluffton Athletic Boosters just concluded their annual Reverse Raffle and would like to take a moment to thank all that contributed to its success.  Many individuals and businesses made this year’s raffle another huge success. 

Whether you purchased a ticket, or donated a product, service, or your valuable time, we cannot thank you enough.  The Reverse Raffle couldn’t be effective without the help of all the volunteers. 

We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s raffle.
