Are you looking for some math assistance for your student in grades 7-12?

Welcome back, Brody! BPS welcomed first grader Brody Gillihan back to school today by forming a human tunnel from the front entrance all the way to his classroom. It was an AMAZING day! #BruinProud

Students in Ms. Sheri Hangber's 6th grade class at BIS exercised their civic duty today by voting in a mock election for president. The students proudly displayed their "I Voted" stickers. Way to go, Bruins! #BetterAtBlackford

Thank you for your generosity, Bev Dickey! She has officially donated 3 gallons of blood and received a special pin for her efforts from Versiti. We can't even imagine how many lives Mrs. Dickey has helped/saved through her blood donations. #BruinProud

The votes are in! Mrs. Julia Hiatt's first grade class at BPS was excited for Election Day. We read the story Duck for President by Doreen Cronin. Students got to vote for who they thought should be president... Duck or Farmer Brown. They got to vote in the voting booth and the class voted by a landslide of 14 to 9. The class wanted Duck to be President!! We had fun making a vote and deciding on who they would want to run the farm. What a great lesson! Congratulations, Duck! #BetterAtBlackford
