Today we celebrate Mrs. Doreen Harris as she begins her well-earned retirement after five years as a Special Education Paraprofessional at the Primary Center! 💙
One of Doreen’s favorite memories was teaching Kindergarten students to sign "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and seeing the excitement on their faces when they finally understood a new concept. She shared that working at Boone gave her a greater appreciation for all that teachers do each day.
Doreen hopes to be remembered for the little things—sharing kindness, smiles, and creating positive memories for students. Her career highlight reel would certainly include the smiles and laughter she inspired by using a train whistle or duck call to get students’ attention!
In retirement, Doreen is looking forward to traveling and enjoying the freedom to do what she wants, when she wants.
Thank you, Doreen, for your kindness, dedication, and the joy you brought to our students. Congratulations on your retirement! 🎉 #BooneProud

Kindness is contagious, and Mrs. Kern's class proved just how powerful it can be! 💙✨
As part of the 2026 Raisin Kindness Campaign, students challenged themselves to make a positive impact throughout our school and community. From picking up trash and lending a helping hand without being asked, to creating a free bookshelf in the Intermediate Center lobby, these students embraced every opportunity to spread kindness.
One of their favorite projects was hiding "Kern's Critters" throughout the school for students and staff to discover and return to the classroom for a prize, bringing smiles and excitement to everyone involved!
Their efforts did not go unnoticed. Mrs. Kern's class was named the "Overall Kindest Class of the Season" and celebrated their achievement with a special ice cream truck party from Sweet Ride! 🍦🎉
We are so proud of these students for demonstrating that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference. Congratulations, Mrs. Kern's class! #BooneProud

📚❤️ Reading buddies make the school year even more special!
Mrs. Seifert’s class and Mrs. Smith’s class teamed up as reading buddies this year, getting together at least once a month to read stories and complete fun crafts together. The friendships and connections they built throughout the year have been so meaningful, and the students always love seeing their buddies in the hallways and at other school events.
What a wonderful way to build confidence, friendships, and a love of reading! #BooneProud

Our Technological Design students are finishing up their custom serving boards, and each one is as unique as the student who created it.
Using hardwoods like walnut, cherry, maple, ash, purpleheart, poplar, and oak, students designed, shaped, and crafted boards that reflect their own creativity and personality.
Functional, beautiful, and completely one-of-a-kind—just like our students. 👏

During her time at Boone, Mrs. Raudenbush taught 8th, 7th, 6th, and 5th grade Math, making a lasting impact on countless students both inside and outside the classroom.

She hopes students remember that they were always valued, supported, and encouraged, and that their success truly mattered. She also hopes colleagues remember her as someone dependable, supportive, and always willing to work together to create the best experiences possible for students.

Science, problem-solving, and a little bit of suspense! 🥚🔬
Every year, Mrs. Miller’s Chemistry students take on the famous “Egg Drop” project. Using a chemical reaction, students produce a gas that inflates a baggie inside a protective device designed to keep an egg safe when dropped from the second floor to the ground outside.
The project challenges students to apply their knowledge of stoichiometry by carefully calculating the exact amount of inflation they want, while making sure the baking soda and vinegar reaction is perfectly balanced with no excess reactants.
For those inquiring minds who want to know … only 7 out of 32 eggs survived the fall! 👀
Even more impressive — only ONE individual student (who worked completely alone) achieved perfect results:
✅ Egg survived
✅ Bag stayed sealed
✅ No direct tape applied to the egg bag
✅ Correct stoichiometric ratio
Amazing work by our Chemistry students putting classroom learning into action! #BooneProud

🎓 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Mrs. Beth Williamson #BooneProud
Today we celebrate Mrs. Beth Williamson and her 20 years of dedicated service as the Administrative Assistant for the Middle School Counseling Office. Her impact reaches far beyond her role—touching the lives of students, families, and colleagues every single day.
Mrs. Williamson reflects on the many friendships she’s built over the years as one of the most meaningful parts of her journey. Those connections, paired with her daily interactions with students, parents, and staff, helped her grow into a resourceful problem solver and a steady, compassionate presence in the building.
She hopes to be remembered for her kindness, strong work ethic, and her willingness to step in and help wherever needed—often before anyone even asked. Most recently, Mrs. Williamson was honored with the Sweet Impact Award, a testament to the admiration and respect she’s earned from her peers.
Her favorite memories span from helping decorate and chaperone 8th grade dances, to watching students grow from their first day of middle school to their final walk toward high school. She fondly recalls the excitement of the Blazer Olympics, the joy of working alongside colleagues who make even the busiest days fun, and her involvement with the Sunshine Committee—spreading positivity and appreciation throughout the school year.
As she looks ahead to retirement, she’s excited to travel with her husband, spend time at the beach, and enjoy more moments with her family, including her new grandson—along with gardening and soaking up the outdoors.
Thank you, Mrs. Williamson, for your compassion, positivity, and the lasting impact you’ve made on our school community. Wishing you a joyful and relaxing retirement! 💙 #BooneProud
