Sports Policy: 2024-2025 Season when attending MS & HS sporting Events:
Due to safety concerns for our student body and spectators at our Boys and Girls basketball games, this is our [Bluffton Exempted Village Schools] sports policy:
Students in grades K-5 will need to be in a seat in the stands with an adult, parent or guardian.
Junior High students may sit at the top of the designated student section or in a seat in the stands.
From December 9-18, Bluffton Elementary School will be conducting a "Cans and Coins" community service project with two goals: to collect items for the food pantry and collect money for community needs.
This year, the coin collection will benefit the new Village of Bluffton park on Snider Rd. that will include a soccer complex.
All coins will go in the jug by the front entrance. All food items will go on/under the table by the front entrance.
If the tub is filled with money one time time, principal Kori Bernal will surprise students with "something fun and crazy."
The Bluffton Lions will install four new members in February 2025: Laura Dagani, Brigette Hoff, Scott Hoff and Renee Matthews. The next Lions Club meeting is January 7.
LEO CLUB
Lion Natalie Armstrong is starting a Leo Club.
ALL-INCLUSIVE BLUFFTON LIONS PLAYGROUND
The Bluffton Lions are planning to build an all-Inclusive playground at the new Village park being developed on the north side of Snider Rd. Lion Barbara Plaugher showed a power-point on a LCIF (Lions Club International Foundation) matching grant of up to $150K.
PEACE POSTER COMPETITION
Three Peace Poster winners and their teacher provided information on their art projects. This is a world-wide project for students ages 11 through 13.
The theme this year was “Peace Without Limits”. For 30 years clubs around the world have been sponsoring an art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters gives children the chance to express their vision of peace. ▶︎
