The following students are the October 2009 Bluffton Middle School students of the month:
6th Grade:
Kyla See daughter of Debra See, Bluffton
Mark Bixel, son of Dean & Brenda Bixel, Bluffton
Did you live in Bluffton all of your life? When did you graduate from BHS? Did you go to Bluffton college or somewhere else? Did you and your sister go to the same place or deliberately separate at that point?
While Ashley Siferd, a junior at Cory-Rawson High School, has recently started up her own business, called Old Homestead Soaps and Lotions, selling goat milk soap and lotion she has been around goats her entire life.
"My family has had goats since my brother was four," she said. "I was born into the goats. We had a farm tour for Hancock County and we had to have activities for it and that's when we started making stuff."
I know you're from Livonia, MI. That's a much different city than Bluffton, isn't it? Tell me about your childhood, growing up "up north", etc. What kind of kid were you?
"Up north," that's Traverse City or Marquette, to me! Livonia is the suburbs, but I had a passion for horses and was lucky to ride English for six years through the Girl Scouts.
