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 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.

Thank you for your generosity, Bev Dickey! She has officially donated 3 gallons of blood and received a special pin for her efforts from Versiti.
We can't even imagine how many lives Mrs. Dickey has helped/saved through her blood donations.

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!
