(3/3)Please keep in mind graduation will be live streamed to help reduce the number of tickets needed. Contact Mr. Shimer before noon on 5/17 if you need more than your 10 allotted tickets. Thank you for your understanding & patience with the challenges due to the Pandemic.
(2/3) When we receive notice a family won't use all 10 they are allotted we will distribute those to families with a larger need. This will also require families that need more than 10 tickets to make a request by email to Mr. Shimer at sshimer@blackfordschools.org.
(1/3)We have been given the go-ahead to allow more people at the Graduation. We still have a limit due to the county being recognized in the state system as yellow. We are still allowing 10 tickets per student but requesting communication from families not using all 10 tickets.
BJSHS students learned more about their health during the Teen Health Fair that took place yesterday morning at the school. Students were able to visit booths at the fair that addressed important topics such as oral health, nutrition, substance abuse education, impaired driving obstacle course, sports injury prevention, Stop the Bleed education, teen health, and careers in medicine. They were even able to take their blood pressure and learn about eye exams. "A big thank you goes out to all of our presenters," said event organizer and BJSHS teacher Yvette Rouch, who coordinated the fair along with her Anatomy and Health Careers classes. "We appreciate everyone's help in making our first fair a success!"
