Students in Amanda Wolfe's first grade class at Northside School worked hard in their geometry lesson learning about shapes- just in time to decorate Christmas trees!🎄🎄🎄
Students have been studying 2D and 3D shapes the past two weeks in Mrs. Amanda Wolfe's 1st grade class at Northside Elementary. Students created geome "trees" using plane shapes to wrap up the study... just in time for the holidays! 🎄🎄🎄
Wishing our families the best for the holidays! Check out the decked out doors at Montpelier School! 🎄🎅
Members of the BJSHS Band entertained students as they arrived to school before break.

Thanks again, Bruins!
#BruinProud #Versiti
Thank you to the staff, students, and community members who participated in the recent BJSHS blood drive hosted by Blackford High School HOSA (Health Occupations Students Association).
According to Versiti representative Megan Borgmann, "At today’s Blood Drive, we saw 71 donors come out and attempt to donate. We were able to collect 50 units of blood. That is 150 patients impacted. 150 children, mothers, fathers, and community members that get to spend Christmas with their loved ones thanks to your help and amazing donors. THANK YOU! ❤
"Blood has a shelf life of 42 days, and there is no substitute. As the primary blood supplier for our local hospitals, I cannot say thank you enough for helping us save the lives of local patients. You are a lifesaver, and we are grateful for your support of our mission."
The next HOSA drive is scheduled for Tuesday, February 1st. Reserve your spot now, and save a life! 👇
