🚌 National School Bus Safety Week: Know the Law!
With National School Bus Safety Week coming up this week, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of Pennsylvania’s school bus safety laws.
🛑 When must you STOP?
Vehicles traveling BEHIND a school bus must ALWAYS STOP when its red lights are flashing and stop arm is extended, regardless of whether the road has one lane or multiple lanes.
Opposing traffic must also STOP unless the roadway is separated by a physical barrier (cement barrier, metal guardrail) or unpaved median (grassy area).
⚠️ When should you use caution?
When a physical barrier or unpaved median separates opposing traffic, drivers traveling in the opposite direction do not need to stop, but should remain alert and proceed with caution.
Let’s work together to keep our Boone students safe as they travel to and from school! 💙🤍

🏇🥉 #BooneProud: National Equestrian Achievement!
Congratulations to ninth-grader Baylee Dominick and her horse, Hollywood Fire, on earning a bronze medal at the National Pony Jumper Finals in Lexington, Kentucky, back in August!
Competing against riders from across the country, Baylee served as the anchor rider for her four-girl team. Under pressure, she delivered a fault-free round, securing the team's spot in the finals and helping lead them to a bronze medal finish!
Despite being strangers before the competition, the teammates came together through sportsmanship, determination, and a shared love of horses.
We are #BooneProud of Baylee and this outstanding accomplishment! Congratulations!

A big thank-you to the Monarch and Amity Fire Companies for visiting our Primary Center to review important fire safety rules with our students! 🧑🚒
Our students learned key fire safety tips, had the opportunity to explore the fire trucks up close, and even watched one of our brave firefighters climb the ladder to show just how high they may need to go when fighting fires!
To help students feel comfortable around firefighters, Miss Kessler and Miss Goudie dressed in full firefighter suits to show everyone that firefighters are there to help and that there is nothing to be afraid of!
We are so grateful to our local firefighters for their bravery, dedication, and willingness to respond to emergencies throughout our community. Thank you for keeping us safe and for being true Hometown Heroes! ❤️

💙 Every Body Moves, Plays, and Belongs! 💙
Mrs. Deininger’s 4th grade class recently had an exciting opportunity to learn about prostheses and orthoses and how to support people who use them!
Students discovered how orthoses support existing limbs, while prostheses help people with limb loss or limb differences move and participate in everyday activities. They explored how prostheses are made, learned about their different functions, and got to see examples up close.
And their questions were fantastic! 🙌 Did you know the largest prosthetic our guest ever made was a leg for a man who was 7 feet, 4 inches tall? Students also learned about the most expensive prosthetic she ever made, which cost an incredible $150,000!
Through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations, the class shared an important message: Even though we may move differently, movement and play are important to EVERY body!
This lesson also had a special connection to our classroom community, helping students better understand how prostheses can make a difference in someone's everyday life. Students brainstormed ways to advocate for and actively include friends who use prostheses and orthoses.

📚✨ Learning, practicing, and earning rewards! ✨📚
Mrs. Murray’s first graders are hard at work! Students were challenged to put their letters in ABC order in less than two minutes—and they did an amazing job! 🔤⏱️
They’re also practicing writing their new sight words, including “the” and “is,” while building those important early literacy skills. ✏️📖
And after all that hard work? A well-deserved visit to the sensory room as a reward! 🎉
We love seeing our Blazers learn, practice, challenge themselves, and celebrate their progress! 💙🤍
