Part 1!!
Seniors Peyton James and Ethan Gee show off this week's project. The baseball team’s step ladder they used to chase foul balls was falling apart. These Advanced Manufacturing students reverse engineered the old ladder and constructed this one to take its place.
Nice work!
The students in Mrs. Yvette Rouch's CNA class at BJSHS were busy showing some love to the nurses at IU Health Blackford with some personalized sidewalk chalk messages! To all the nurses we know and love, THANK YOU! WE APPRECIATE YOU AND ALL YOU DO! ❤️
