Wow! Hard to believe Fall Break is almost here! (Oct. 12-16.)
Thanks to the kind generosity of the Blackford County Community Foundation, Community and Family Services, Grace United Methodist Church, Purdue Extension Blackford County, and the Good Seed Initiative, the Pit Stop in Hartford City will provide free lunches to families in need during Fall Break. If this is your family, please stop by the Pit-Stop to pick up lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students are encouraged to be present when picking up the lunches.
A friendly reminder from Assistant Superintendent Greg Roach regarding transportation:
As we start the last week of our first grading period, I want to thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us have a great start to our school year. I want to remind you that due to COVID-19 safety concerns and the possible need to contact trace, we are unable to approve one-time, non-permanent bus changes for students. Students need to ride their assigned bus or have an alternate option for transportation. I know this can create hardships for parents at times, but we need to do all that we can to keep our students safe and this is a measure that is necessary.
Thank you in advance for your help in our efforts to keep the students of BCS safe.

The third graders in Mrs. Penny’s class have been using the power of drawing to enhance their understanding of main idea and supporting details. Students listened to a nonfiction passage and drew an illustration to represent the passage. They then could pick out the main thing they were drawing about. This helped students understand the main idea. It was a fun way and visual way to understand the main idea.
