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.

📸 Throwback Thursday: Birdsboro’s Second High School — The Roosevelt Building 🏫
Did you know that Birdsboro’s second high school had its own school song (pictured below)? 🎶
Built in 1927, the Roosevelt Building served as Birdsboro’s high school until 1955, when Amity, Union, and Birdsboro joined together. After that, it became the Daniel Boone Junior High School. The building was located just behind the original high school—the Washington Building—between Adams and Jefferson Streets on West 3rd Street.
Drop a comment if you remember this school song! 👇🎵
✨ Behind the Scenes: Our monthly Throwback Thursday posts are being created by our Communications Intern, senior Dan Shank. Dan enjoys research and interviews and is excited to hone his skills while working alongside our DB Communications Team.

#ThrowbackThursday #BooneProud
On Tuesday, we were thrilled to welcome back eight Boone alumni to help lead the development of our Student Ambassadors 💙
Together, they had meaningful conversations about what it truly means to be an Ambassador—responsibility, vulnerability, and showing up authentically for others. They talked about how we’re all unique, but at the end of the day, we’re all human—and we all struggle from time to time.
The day was filled with connection, deep conversations, and plenty of fun, including:
✨ We’re Not Really Strangers - a conversation card game
🏎️ A creative twist on Pipeline using Hot Wheels tracks and cars
🎈 Balloon Confessions - an activity that reminded us just how similar our struggles really are
A huge thank you to the alumni who helped lead Unity Day and shared their time, experiences, and hearts with our students:
Ethan Scott, Erin Okuniewski, Marlee Fetrow, Hannah Huddleson, Wil Gaskins, Luke Armstrong, and Meghan Duffy.
Once a Blazer, always a Blazer. #BooneProud 💙🔥

🤖 STEAM in Action!
Students in Mrs. Serianni’s classes are putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test with their new KEVA Bot Mazes, generously provided by the Blazer Education Foundation.
These STEM-focused building kits let kids design and build their own motorized “bristle bots” and create custom mazes for them to navigate. Using wooden planks, connectors, and craft materials, students explore engineering, coding, and hands-on experimentation, all while having fun!
We love seeing our students think, build, and innovate every day! 💡

💙🥕 Community Kindness in Action 🥕💙
At our December 22nd Giving Market, we were incredibly grateful to receive a generous donation of fresh produce from one of our middle school students, David, as part of his Bar Mitzvah project.
With the support of his mom, David has focused his project on community service, making a meaningful impact in many ways. In addition to this produce donation, David has provided school supplies to families in need, organized a coat and clothing drive, and will be working with Opportunity House to continue serving others.
Our Giving Market attendees were so thankful for the fresh produce. Thanks to the abundance, we were also able to share with the greater Boone community by stocking the community fridge at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Birdsboro.
We are proud of David’s compassion and commitment to helping others—his kindness truly reflects the spirit of Boone.
