A new flag for Bluffton schools
There's no music here, but music certainly contributes to the awarding of the Bluffton Elementary School's earning a National Blue Ribbon School designation for 2018.
Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent, unveiled the flag during Monday's all-elementary holiday concert. Click here for details on the Blue Ribbon award. Bluffton was one of only 16 schools in Ohio to receive the award.
And, check back to the Icon later this afternoon for part 1 of a two-section photo gallery of concert photos by Jamie Nygaard.
