In anticipation of the 2024-2025 school year, the Bluffton Exempted Village Schools have released a video on the school website titled Bluffton Pirates: School Culture and Community Connections.

The approximately four minute video features teachers from the Bluffton high school, middle school and elementary school sharing their perspectives on the environment created for students and the role of the schools in the community. Their invitation is “Join us in celebrating the heart and spirit of our school!”

The video also takes you through the hallways and into the classrooms and cafeteria, as well as art, music and gym classes.

"The school and the community are so closely tied," says Jamie Erford, High School English teacher, "To be part of one, is to really be part of the other."

The video may be viewed and shared on YouTube on the new official channel -- www.youtube.com/@BlufftonExemptedVillageSch-817/ -- as well as on https://www.blufftonschools.org/
