A big thank you to Montpelier resident Jenny Garrett who kindly donated caterpillars and cocoons to Mrs. Jessica Barker's kindergarten class at BPS so they could observe them and watch the butterflies hatch. "The students have loved it!" said Mrs. Barker. #BetterAtBlackford

Today was the first day back for most BCS staff. To welcome them, a Back to School Breakfast was held in the BJSHS cafeteria. During the event, staff heard from Superintendent Chad Yencer, Assistant Superintendent Dave Parker, and Todd Hill, East Central Indiana School Trust president.
