🎮💙 E-Sports for Everyone! 💙🎮
On January 21, a group of our high school students traveled to Governor Mifflin to take part in the SOPA (Special Olympics Pennsylvania) E-Sports Try It Day!
Students competed and connected through fun activities including Mario Kart racing, Minecraft, board games, and bocce—all while cheering each other on.
The goal of the day was simple and powerful: to give students of all abilities the chance to compete, have fun, and experience e-sports in an inclusive and supportive environment alongside their friends.
We’re proud of our students for embracing teamwork, sportsmanship, and inclusion! #BooneProud

🎭 Taking the Stage at PA ThesFest! 🎭
Several members of the DBHS International Thespian Honor Society attended the Pennsylvania Thespian Festival (PA ThesFest) from January 2–4 at Parkland High School. This statewide theatre conference, presented in partnership with the Educational Theatre Association, brought together hundreds of high school theatre students and educators from across Pennsylvania.
Throughout the three-day event, students took part in hands-on workshops in acting, musical theatre, technical theatre, directing, and dance, and enjoyed student-produced one-act shows, mainstage plays and musicals, and improv competitions from schools across the state.
A special congratulations to Shannon Tilley ’27, who participated in a junior showcase for college recruiters. Students also explored future opportunities at a college fair featuring more than 30 universities with theatre arts programs.
Most importantly, our students built meaningful connections with peers who share their passion for theatre and began what promises to be a lasting relationship with the Educational Theatre Association. 🌟
🎬 Participating ITS Members:
Callista Basile ’26, Adrian Dawson-Berkey ’27, Luke Eurillo ’27, William Falstich ’26, Aurora Keim ’27, Maya Kremer ’27, Mallory Oister ’28, Amelia Shelgren ’28, Carissa Schlegel ’27, and Shannon Tilley ’27

Languages came to life this week! 🌍✨
On Tuesday and Wednesday, our high school German and Spanish students visited the middle school to share their love of languages with 8th graders.
Through games and quick lessons, students tried out new words, spoke a little German and Spanish, and asked great questions about language classes and clubs at the high school.
It was a fun, hands-on experience that gave our middle schoolers a glimpse of what’s waiting for them in high school — and gave our high school students the opportunity to shine as leaders.
