We are seeking future Blackford Bruins!
A message from BPS Principal Craig Campbell:
I am humbled by the outpouring of love and compassion from the families of BPS and the Blackford County community. I tell people all the time, my favorite time of the day is morning drop off time. I absolutely love greeting all of our students, former students, future students and parents when I open their car door. I have been able to make great connections and forged lifelong friendships with so many! Nothing is better than seeing the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the kids and sharing a moment and a smile.
How cool is this?
Cornerstone Community Church of the Nazarene in Montpelier gifted each BPS 1st grader with a scarf, gloves, and candy cane! (Look at those proud smiles!)
Thank you to everyone who made this possible for our students! ❤️ We appreciate you!
The very kind folks from Cornerstone Community Church of the Nazarene in Montpelier gifted each of our BPS 1st graders with a scarf, gloves, and candy cane! (just in the St. Nick of time! It's cold out there!)
They generously do this every year and it is so appreciated! ❤️
Join us for a fun-filled night cheering on the Blackford Bruins!

Good afternoon Blackford Primary School Families. Even though it may seem like we just had our food pantry yesterday, it is now time for our December event! The Blackford Primary School food pantry will begin at 5:00 pm today. Those turkey and stuffing leftovers are not going to last much longer. Come tonight to restock those shelves.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Our BCS Preschool students would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Greetings from Blackford Primary School. If your student participated in the PTO fundraiser sales, please be prepared to pick up your student's order between 3:15 and 5:00 on Monday, November 25th. The items will be in the main lobby of the school. Please do not pull into the main drive until 3:15 to assure all of our buses have departed.
How do we make the lesson memorable? By making it fun! First grade students in Mrs. Rachael Story's class had to recognize and grab the correct blended sound before their partner. Talk about some quick thinking! Great job, Cubs!

The School Board approved the 2025-2026 BCS Calendar during last night's meeting.
The second grade students at Blackford Primary School were given the opportunity to write Thank You notes to Richard (Dick) Thurman, Army 101st Airborne Vietnam Veteran. Mr. Thurman was a member of an Honor Flight on September 14, 2024. While on the flight home from Washington, D.C. they had a mail call. Mr. Thurman was given a packet of thank you notes and pictures written by the second grade students. Mr. Thurman wanted to come and thank the students personally for their kindness. He came to Blackford Primary School on Tuesday, September 12, 2024. Mr. Thurman discussed with the students what a veteran is, and why veterans should be honored. He also shared with the second graders about his duties while serving in Vietnam, the medals he was awarded, and even brought in his dress uniform for the students to see.

Welcome back, Brody!
BPS welcomed first grader Brody Gillihan back to school today by forming a human tunnel from the front entrance all the way to his classroom. It was an AMAZING day!

The votes are in! Mrs. Julia Hiatt's first grade class at BPS was excited for Election Day. We read the story Duck for President by Doreen Cronin. Students got to vote for who they thought should be president... Duck or Farmer Brown. They got to vote in the voting booth and the class voted by a landslide of 14 to 9. The class wanted Duck to be President!! We had fun making a vote and deciding on who they would want to run the farm.
What a great lesson! Congratulations, Duck!
