TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton offense finally dusted off the cobwebs on a beautiful Good Friday at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology but the Engineers would not be denied, taking a pair of one-run games with some late-inning heroics. Bluffton fell to 11-13 overall and 4-10 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose improved to 12-15 and 10-4 in the HCAC.
In our quick trip you’ll notice lots of reds, pinks and in-between shades as trees put on their spring robes. In a few weeks lots more blooming things will catch our attention.
We’ll watch for those, too.
And, until May comes, here’s Bluffton in its favorite April colors. We’ll start in the middle school front lawn and proceed from there.

That light in the tunnel - the end of the school year - gets brighter in April. Even so, there's still lots of activities planned this school year. Here is information from the elementary April newsletter.
TESTING DAYS: Third, fourth and fifth grade students will take Ohio Math tests on April 20 and 21. Fourth grade students will take Ohio Social Studies tests on April 27 and 28. Fifth grade students will take Ohio Science tests on April 27 and 28.
Bluffton University will celebrate its annual May Day weekend of festivities May 5-7.
The traditional end-of-the-academic-year celebration intertwines the past by hosting alumni reunions, the present by honoring this year's graduates and the future with first-year students performing the traditional Maypole dance.
Classes ending in a 7 or 2, and the class of 2016, will celebrate reunions.
The events begin on Friday, May 5, with the Juried Student Art Exhibition in Sauder Visual Arts Center. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
