Its hard to believe we only have one week remaining in the school year! Its been a great first year here at Bluff City Education. We grew from just me (Jon) to several regular contributors. Our work was featured numerous times in both online and print publications. We’ve had over 15,000 visitors to our site in the past 10 months, with over 10,000 so far this year alone!
