School's out and the final grade cards went home on Friday. Here's the Bluffton fourth and fifth grade honor roll students. The list is in the attachment below.
Note: Bluffton sixth graders in the 1953-54 school year (graduating class of 1960) created a booklet titled "The Bluffton Story." The following article is part of that booklet, which is now in the history collection at the Bluffton Public Library. This series continues each week on the Icon. By Nancy Houts and Kay Zimmerly
Alexandria (Alee) Gratz-Collier graduated from BHS in 2004, and went to college at Woodbury University in Burbank, California. She (along with her business partner) is the force behind River Valley Pasta, a home-made pasta company.

What have you been up to since graduating from BHS? Where are you based now?
Since college, I have been working in the service industry in Findlay. No kids, but a VERY proud aunt. I'm not married, and am living in Findlay.
