Thanks to the generous support of the Beta Xi Chapter of Tri Kappa in Hartford City, students in Mrs. Sydney Walter's Advanced Art classes had the opportunity to take a field trip to the Blackford County Arts Center. While on the trip, students viewed the Regional Student Art Exhibit, engaged in meaningful discussion about the works displayed, and created a collaborative artwork with students from Southern Wells. Students created their own personal stamps, which were used to make artworks featuring 4 areas of the fine arts- art, music, dance, and theater. #BetterAtBlackford

At the end of last week, our BJSHS junior high students had a fun field day for those who passed the last nine weeks. Students enjoyed a 3 v 3 basketball tournament, dodgeball vs the Hartford City Police Department, a movie, smash cart tourney and more! The event ended with students who had As and Bs having their names drawn to pie a teacher in the face! #BetterAtBlackford

It's been a busy day for the 3rd graders in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's class at BPS this week! According to Mrs. Shadiow, 'My 3rd graders used their “decoding rings” to decode the practice ILEARN prompts. They wrote down important words from the prompt, used their decoding cheat sheets and rings, and were able to share what type of essay they needed to write for each prompt. They did a great job! ' Great job, Bears! Keep up the good work! #BetterAtBlackford
