Just a reminder that with devices going home so early with students, there might be some parents rethinking their student's device protection. If this is you, please take a moment to review the available insurance coverage.
A big thank you goes out to the Blackford County Sheriff's Department and the Grant County Sheriff's Department for taking it to the mat last night for a good cause. Each department's teams took on the other on to help raise money for the holiday Shop With A Cop program. Thank you to these men and women for giving it their all, putting on a great show, and raising money for kids.
Also, we appreciate the crowd that stayed after the BJSHS wrestling matches to cheer on their favorite police team member! A good time was had by all, and according to organizers is now destined to become an annual event!
(For those who might not be aware, the Grant County SD squad was co-coached by BJSHS teacher and coach Mike Jones and his son, Curtis.)
We are BCS, BCSD and GCSD PROUD!
