Daniel Boone Area School District - Learning Together; Advocating for All

Enjoy the Long Weekend! 🇺🇸 As we wrap up the week, we wish all of our Blazer families a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend! Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, May 26th. We hope you enjoy the extra time with family and friends as we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

🎉 As we head into the final days of the school year, retiree celebrations are in full swing here at Daniel Boone! Today, the first grade team at the Primary Center honored Anita Brady and Pat Smith for their incredible dedication and service to our students. Meanwhile, the entire middle school came together to celebrate Gary Ingham, SSC custodian and a beloved part of the building since it opened its doors in 2005. These individuals have made a lasting impact on our schools, our students, and our community — and we are so grateful for the time, care, and heart they’ve given over the years. 💙 More heartfelt celebrations are still to come as we say farewell and thank you to all of this year’s retirees. Stay tuned as we continue to honor the amazing people who help make us #BooneProud!

🧪🍳 Mrs. Miller's Chemistry classes have been hard at work mixing science and fun! Over the past two days, students experimented with the perfect combination of vinegar and baking soda to create a cushion of air — all in an effort to protect their eggs during a dramatic drop to the ground. Science in action at its best! 👩‍🔬🚀 #BooneProud #HandsOnLearning #STEMinAction

🎉 Congratulations to DBAHS senior Kamryn Burmester on successfully completing her internship with Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center! 🏥💙 Kamryn interned in the Surgical Services Outpatient Interventional Unit, where she gained valuable hands-on experience—transporting patients, prepping rooms, and creating a calm, comforting environment for those in care. She also had the opportunity to observe a variety of medical procedures, including infusions, endoscopies, lab draws, lung biopsies, and even a C-section! 👏 We're so proud of Kamryn and wish her all the best as she pursues her dream of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Your future is bright! 🌟 #BooneProud #CareerReady #StudentSpotlight #HealthcareHeroes #CRNAInTheMaking

#TBT to the Class of 2015 🎓 Ten years ago, these seniors proudly shaped a "15" on the court—capturing a moment that symbolized both unity and the start of their journey beyond Boone. The world has changed in the last decade, and so have they, but the bond shared in those high school halls will always remain. As we count down to the Class of 2025’s big day, we celebrate the legacy left behind by those who came before. Here's to the Class of 2015 and the paths they’ve paved since graduation. 💙 #BooneProud #Classof2015 #10YearsLater #CountdownTo2025
