πΈ Blossoming Young Gardeners at Daniel Boone! π±
Back in the spring, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students planted a beautiful garden, and look at it now! πΏπ· Through a mini-garden curriculum, our Primary and Intermediate Center life skill classrooms were instrumental in the planting process. From tiny seeds to flourishing plants, they've learned the joys of gardening and the importance of nurturing nature. π» π«
A special thanks to Ashley Griffith, our district Wellness Coordinator, who implemented this fantastic wellness initiative, and to the HS Ecology Club for their invaluable help with planting our Kinder "garden" during our Garden Day activity in the Spring. The kids' enthusiasm and dedication have truly brought this garden to life! π
How are your gardens doing this summer? We'd love to see your progress, too! πΊβοΈ

Huge congratulations to Chris Guiliano for winning the gold medal in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay! πββοΈπΊπΈ Paris can practically hear Boone cheering from miles away! πΌπ₯ Your hard work and dedication have truly paid offβwhat an incredible achievement! π₯π #OlympicGold #TeamUSA #Paris2024 #BooneProud

Weβre just days away from watching our very own Chris Guiliano compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics! ππ
Chris, a 2021 Boone grad and three-time PIAA swim champion, is making waves on the world stage. Chris, who is currently majoring in economics with a minor in computing and digital technologies at Notre Dame, has worked incredibly hard to reach this pinnacle of athletic achievement. We couldnβt be more proud of him!
Hereβs when you can catch him in action:
π
Competition Schedule (from the Reading Eagle):
July 28: Guiliano gets into the pool at 5 a.m. for his first individual event β the heats of the 200 freestyle which will be on USA network. The semifinals in the 200 free are at 2:50 p.m. and will be shown on NBC.
July 29: If he qualifies for the 200 free finals, Guiliano will swim at 2:40 p.m. and it will be shown on NBC.
July 30: This shapes up to be a busy day for Guiliano. The 100 freestyle heats start 5 a.m. and will be shown on USA network and streamed on Peacock. Guiliano won this event at the U.S. Trials. The semifinals will be later in the day at 2:30 p.m. and shown on NBC. The heats in the 4 x 200 freestyle relay will also be held in the morning session, with the finals ending the evening program at 3:59 p.m. NBC will televise the evening session.
July 31: The menβs final in the 100 free is scheduled for 4:15 p.m., the dayβs last event, and will be televised on NBC.
Aug. 1: Should Guiliano swim in the 100 freestyle finals, he wonβt have long to rest with the heats in the 50 freestyle starting at 5 a.m. They will be shown on USA network. The 50 semifinals are at 2:40 p.m. and will be shown on NBC.
Aug. 2: The 50 finals are at 2:30 p.m. and will be on NBC. Unless Guiliano swims the freestyle on any of the U.S.βs medley relays, the 50 free would be his last event. The swimming competition ends Aug. 4.
Our school buildings are proudly showing their support with special signage cheering him on! Check out the attached pictures to see the Boone spirit in full swing. πΈπ«
Make sure to tune in and cheer him on from wherever you are! Letβs keep the Boone pride alive as Chris takes on the world! ππͺ
