First graders from Northside Elementary took advantage of the sunny day to enjoy some quality play time at Sigma Phi Gamma Park. First grader Blake Roysden took a break under one of the shade trees.
Looks like fun, Cubs!

A big thank you to everyone who came out for the Blackford Intermediate School/Montpelier Band and Choir Concert. Here are a few scenes from Montpelier School's portion of the show.
Great job, everyone!
Kindness Rocks!
The final Kindness Club project this year had all the Northside Cubs involved. Students painted over 240 unique rock designs. These rocks will be placed around the county in hopes that if you come across one, it will bring a smile to your day. If you find one feel free to keep it, leave it, or place it somewhere new.
Our Cubs rock!!!
Just a friendly reminder: The last day of school is Friday, May 21!
Wow!
There's been monkey business happening at MES!
As the Kindergarten and 1st graders get ready for their upcoming fieldtrip to the zoo, they are learning all about animals. During a special guest visit, the students really enjoyed getting to know all about this Finger Monkey!
Our 8th graders at BJSHS look like they're having fun while playing Battleship in the pool!
