Did you know that the @Blackford Disc Golf Club is installing a disc golf course in Hartford City? That's great news, especially for our students! "We've been working on our disc golf skills in P.E. at the Blackford Primary School," explains Mrs. Tracey Witt, P.E. teacher. "Thanks to the @Blackford County Community Foundation for giving us a classroom set of discs so we can be ready to get outdoors and play when the course opens."
