Bluffton Senior Citizens Center is holding a Joke Fest as the program for their monthly meeting at noon, Monday, March 9. Bring your favorite joke to share, laugh at everyone else's jokes, and finish with a video of American humorist Jeanne Robertson.
The centre will provide shredded chicken sandwiches for the potluck meal, but bring a side dish and your own table service to share in the meal.
Bluffton first graders and their parents are about to embark on a monumental reading incentive program called March Madness, starting Monday, March 2.
The overall goal of the program is for first graders to increase their reading skills, by reading as many books as possible.
For every five books that a first grader reads, that student will earn a prize and the chance to shoot a ball, which could lead to further prizes if the shot is made.
