BPS had the privilege of welcoming local musician Kathryn Fenstermacher last week! She came on three different days to meet with all of our 1st and 2nd Graders. Mrs. Kathryn introduced the students to the harp by playing a selection of mesmerizing songs to them and even inviting each one to take a turn! She spoke about the importance of music in our lives. As a representative of Arts Place, she also made the students aware of this amazing opportunity in our community for art classes and music lessons! Registration for the fall semester ends TODAY! Thank you, Kathryn, for sharing your time and talents with us!

Introducing Shelby Crouse- Music Teacher at Blackford Intermediate School. In addition, she serves as the 6th Grade Choir Director and 6th Grade Band Assistant.
A graduate of Ball State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, Ms. Crouse brings a wealth of musical experience to the position.
" I am always keeping myself busy in the music world. I sing solo gigs, and I am also a karaoke/DJ. My dad and I typically run the karaoke/DJ business together," she explains.
In addition, Ms. Crouse enjoys dancing, outdoor activities, and spending time with her family and friends. She's currently working on obtaining her motorcycle license.
A 6th/7th grade Choir Director was the person who inspired Ms. Crouse to become a music teacher. "She always had so much fire, and passion for what she did, and the students could feel that she deeply cared about each and every one of us."
She knew early on that music was the career path for her. "It took some time, but here I am finally! I am so happy to be here at Blackford Schools!"
Please join us in welcoming Ms. Shelby Crouse to BCS!
