Bobcat News

THANK YOU! We know your time is valuable, that's why we appreciate all efforts that support Bobcat Nation. October is filled with numerous club fundraisers, ways to help our students succeed in and out of the classroom, and chances to showcase their unique talents and dedication. We can't thank you enough for all you do in support of our staff and students, and we love it when you celebrate with us.

Even though we are approaching the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, our door decorating contest, MLP Night, and Hispanic Heritage Presentation are still to come - don't miss them!

Reminder, Wednesday is a half day for students, and marks the end of the first academic quarter. Parent/Teacher conferences are available by request on that afternoon; please be on the lookout for communication from teachers who are requesting to meet with you and your students.

No school for both students and staff on Thursday and Friday.

67 students from Bluffton High School's Beta Club, the Girls Tennis Team, and Ms. Masotti's English 1 class joined together Friday afternoon to clean up the school campus and surrounding communities. They collected 31 bags of trash! Just one more reason that it's better to be a Bobcat!

Congratulations to our Bobcats honored with a scholarship from Sun City ...
