Blackford Primary School

As you can tell by the photos, they were a little nervous to present at last night's school board meeting, but they did so well! Several of the BPS Preschool Academy's students and staff were on hand to thank donors for their kindness throughout the school year. Preschool Director Shalee Myron updated the board on the program's accomplishments during the year. Later, the board voted to expand the program for the 2025-2026 school year. Mrs. Myron says there are only a few spaces available, but you can add your child's name to the list by calling 765.348.7584.

Our teachers are the best. Please join us in thanking them for all they do! #BetterAtBlackford
