Congratulations to our 2022-2023 Blackford County Schools' retirees Mrs. Cissy Clock, Kindergarten teacher at BPS; Mr. Thurman Cook, an Instructional Assistant at BJSHS; Mr. Don Peden, the Head Custodian at BJSHS; and Mrs. Nancy Slentz, food service staff member at BPS. The staff members were recognized during the End of Year Breakfast held this morning at BJSHS by Superintendent Chad Yencer and Assistant Superintendent David Parker. Building principals Craig Campbell, Jim Fox and Jason Ridge shared a bit about what makes these individuals so special. (We included a retro photo of Mrs. Slentz doing what she did so well during her career at BCS... serving others with a smile!) If you see any of these people, please wish them well. They have worked hard to make a difference in the lives of the students of Blackford County Schools! Best wishes, Cissy, Thurman, Don and Nancy! Relax and enjoy the next chapter of your lives! You deserve it! ❤️ #BruinProud

The BPS Kindness Club sent congratulatory cards to the Class of 2023! So kind! #Class of 2023 #BruinProud

There were ROCK STARS at BPS today! Members of the Class of 2023 walked the halls today to the cheers of students in grades K-2! Way to go, Bruins, we are proud of you! (You made a positive impact on our Cubs today!) #ClassOf2023 #BruinProud

Industrial Fundamentals' student Nathan Elliott loads up his final project at BJSHS. According to his teacher, Mr. Rich Uggen, Nathan used computer aided design software (see image below) to design a parade platform for his antique tractor. He created a bill of materials and ordered the steel he needed. Though not completed, what is impressive is his ability to cut and weld this much in only a few 40 minute work sessions. Nice work, Nathan! #BetterAtBlackford

Mrs. Carma Reidy's class is celebrating their last day of being 3rd graders at the BIS! They are having all kinds of fun during the BIS Field Day! Congratulations on all your hard work, Bruins! #BetterAtBlackford

Here are a few more scenes from yesterday's fun field day at BPS. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible for our students. They had a blast! #BetterAtBlackford
