Daniel Boone Area School District Virtual Learning Day
❤️ #ThrowbackThursday ❤️ Throwing it back to 2015 when we hosted the twelfth annual Angela Hohl Blood Drive at our high school. What an incredible day of community support and life-saving donations in honor of Angela Hohl, a former DB student who sadly passed away in 2003 and whose legacy continues to inspire us all. 🩸💪 Our next blood drive is coming up on Tuesday, February 11th in the annex gym. Let’s continue this tradition of giving back and making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can save lives! ❤️ #TBT #AngelaHohlBloodDrive #GiveBlood #SaveLives #CommunityStrong #BooneProud

🔙 Throwback Thursday: A Glimpse into Amity High School’s Rich History! 🔙 Did you know the building on the corner of Rt 662 and Weavertown Road has a history that dates back to the 1930s? Originally constructed for the 1931-32 school term, the first iteration of Amity High School consisted of 11 rooms, a gym/auditorium, and served grades 1-12. 🌟 By 1939, the school expanded with four new classrooms and a shop to meet the growing needs of the community. As Amity continued to thrive, another addition came in 1953, bringing with it four more classrooms, a cafeteria, updated lavatories, a remodeled gym/auditorium, and a modernized heating system. ❄️🔥 Fast forward to 1956, when a movement to enlarge school districts led to the formation of the Daniel Boone Joint School System, which included Amity, Birdsboro, and Union Townships. The changes didn’t stop there! In 1972, as Amity continued to flourish, seven more classrooms and a library were added to the building. 📚✏️ The final additions came in the 1980s with two more classrooms, and over time, the building became the Amity Elementary Center (grades 1-5) then transitioning to Amity Primary Center (grades K-2) when the new Amity Intermediate Center building was constructed. Today, the building is home to River Rock Academy and Berks Encore, continuing its legacy of serving the community in new ways. 🏫 photo credit: berksnostalgia.com #Throwback Thursday #TBT
