Juniors and Seniors at BJSHS will be participating in/watching a Celebrate Sober event today. There is a crash scene reenactment taking place on the property. There will be police, fire and EMS sirens going off all morning. If the weather cooperates, Lifeline will be landing as well. Don’t be alarmed, this is a reenactment and also hopefully a deterrent to help students stay away from drinking and driving.
You, too, could be the proud owner of this sturdy picnic table, lovingly hand-crafted by the students in Mr. Rich Uggen's Advanced Manufacturing Class at BJSHS.

Riata is joined in the photo by BJSHS Blackford United Sports Coaches Linda Wallace and Tyler McDonald.
