Looking for a way to help instill those important back to school safety messages with your kids? Trudy Wolfe from the Blackford County Health Department can help!
She shares: We have an exciting special edition of Moms On the Move this week.
Join us this Thursday, August 13th for a walk on our Blackford Greenway Trail featuring officers from our Hartford City Police Department AND the Blackford County Sheriffs Office. We will set a 15-minute timer and take off walking at 6:30pm sharp (so be there beforehand to get your free raffle ticket). We leave from the Blackford High School Trail Head (by the tennis courts) to walk and talk with our local law enforcement about safety tips for back-to-school time. At the 15-minute mark we will pivot where we are and head back to the start for a total of a 30-minute walk.
Stick around after the walk for the free raffle drawing, our free beverage bar, and some Q&A with the officers.
We can’t wait to see you there.

Day 2 at Blackford Jr.-Sr. High School brought much debate to Ms. Monica Myers' senior English class.
Students were given six minutes and 32 seconds to research Indiana's new Bell to Bell No Cell law .
Some students used infographics or read Governor Mike Braun's article, and some found statistics and current studies to learn the pros and cons of cell phones in school.
Socratic seminars have rich benefits for students through formal discussion, based on a topic, with an open-ended question. Students listened closely to the comments of others, thinking critically for themselves, and articulating their own thoughts and their responses to the thoughts of others. They learn to work cooperatively and to question intelligently and civilly, by way of "passing the bat."
