Just a friendly reminder from BPS for those of us who still might be writing 2022... 😀
Have a great day, Bruins!

Good afternoon Blackford Primary School families. Tonight is our January edition of the food pantry. We hope to see everyone here tonight to join us. The doors will open at 5:00. It is available for all families of Blackford Primary School students.

The BCS 2023-2024 Calendar was recently approved by the school board.

Superintendent Chad Yencer visited schools today spreading Christmas cheer and handing out candy canes. He was joined by his very special assistants, his daughters Jessica (left) and Meagan.

The Grinch has been spotted a few times this week at BPS. He's been a popular character with the students. Yesterday was the 2nd grade Grinch Day celebration. The kids loved having him there and the Grinch even surprised Mr. Campbell & kindergarten. (The Grinch was portrayed by Nick Aulbach, son of 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Cristi Aulbach. Thank you, Nick!)

Ho! Ho! Hope you have a great Friday, Bruins! Students on Bus 217 were greeted by a jolly old elf today on their way to school today. Thank you, Santa Ted, for your kindness to our students! 🎅

The BPS Elf is at it again! This time he's wreaking havoc with the Christmas tree! What a naughty elf! He'd better turn that tree (and behavior) around or there will be coal in his stocking for sure!
Look what he did to staff photos in the hallway!

Elf on the Shelf fans will understand that there is some (un)serious mischief taking place at BPS. Teacher photos have been vandalized and other shenanigans have taken place. Students and staff were sure they knew who the culprit was- and then this happened! That sneaky elf! 🎄


It was Santa Shoppe day at BPS! According to Miss Rogers, "We had smoothies, wrapped gifts for our friends, and Santa stopped by!
"Thank you so much to our PTO for sponsoring this event!"

Holiday spirit filled the BJSHS gymnasium last night as some of our youngest students took to the stage to perform during the BPS Holiday Concert. A big thank you to everyone who came out to show their support of our Cubs! They did an outstanding job!
