#BetterAtBlackford
Just a reminder: It's Make It Take It Saturday at the Blackford Arts Place today! Come up and join the fun!
Does your child need immunizations? Is your student going to be in athletics?
If so, join us at BJSHS on Monday May 16th from 2:30-5:30 for the Open Door clinic.
A parent must be present for all immunizations to be administered as well as a consent for treatment being signed. If your student is 18 years old they do not need a parent present.
Student and athletic physicals will be offered during this clinic also for $25.00 that must be paid at the time of the clinic.
Please enter through the Sutton Center entrance, door 17 and you will be directed from there.
Any questions please call Amy Sargent corporation nurse at 765-348-7560. You may also pick up a consent form from your school's health office prior to the clinic.
It's sure to be a great show!

100 Popsicle sticks, a bottle of Elmer’s glue, and two teams tied at 35 pounds... It's just another day of bridge building in Mrs. Jen Gallatin's class at BJSHS!
What made winning this challenge even sweeter? Ivanhoe's milkshakes!

BCS seeks part-time custodians
MES first graders in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's class are starting their animal research projects! According to Mrs. Shadiow, "We searched the Fort Wayne Zoo website this morning and decided which animal everyone will research. Throughout the week, we will find the animal’s body features, habitat, life cycle, and diet. We’re going to become experts on our animals! On Friday, the experts will have to find their animal on our field trip to the Fort Wayne Zoo!"
