Blackford County Schools

Can you help us spread the word?

Blackford Primary School has gone to the dogs this week! Ultimate Canine brought over some of their puppies that are participants in the Puppies in Training program. According to Ericka Rogers, school social worker at BPS, "These canines will be used as therapy dogs in schools, hospitals, and other facilities all over the country. We were happy to be a part of their training and look forward to future visits with them!"

Future medical professionals are hard at work at BJSHS this week! Check out the suture technique of the students in Mrs. Yvette Rouch's anatomy class. Nice work, Bruins!

An important message from Mrs. Yvette Rouch: "The Health Careers Blood Drive is next Tuesday, September 27, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the BJSHS Auxiliary Gym. All donated blood stays within our area. My daughter, dad, and mom all had their lives saved because of a blood donor, and I am sure the majority of you have a loved one who was also saved, or given hope, by a donor. Blood supplies are very short right now. We can use your help." Please consider donating by using this link: https://donate.indiana.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/155395 By donating blood, you will: - Burn 650 calories - Give up to 3 people hope (through red blood cells, plasma, and platelets) - Help our Health Careers club (HOSA) increase the amount of scholarships that can be offered to one of our own BJSHS seniors.
