Throwback Thursday 📚✨ Step back in time with us to the origins of the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School! These classic snapshots capture a newly finished science lab, classroom, auditorium, and gymnasium in our brand-new building circa mid-1960's. The story behind the school is as memorable as the building itself! The journey started in 1955 with the formation of a jointure between Amity, Union, and Birdsboro. Expansion plans were approved in 1960, and Birdsboro was chosen as the site. Construction kicked off in 1964, overcoming challenges like strikes, a flood, and even a hurricane! Despite these obstacles, our doors opened on September 7, 1966—although some areas like the auditorium, gym, and art and music rooms were still under construction. 🛠️ Finally, in the spring of 1967, the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School was dedicated, marking the completion of a vision that shaped our school community. 🏫🌟 #ThrowbackThursday #BooneProud #DanielBooneClassof1967

📚🚨 School Attendance Matters! 🚨📚 Did you know? 🤔 Regular attendance not only helps students stay on track with their learning, but it also... - Develops strong habits for future success 🎓 - Helps build friendships and social skills 🤝 - Ensures your child doesn’t miss out on critical learning 📖 Every school day counts, and every absence, excused or unexcused, can impact a student's ability to learn and grow. Your involvement makes a big difference! Let’s work together to support our students and make every school day a success. #AttendanceMatters #BooneProud #EducationMatters #BooneProud

Attendance Matters Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up! When a student misses 2 days a month...they will miss 20 days a year, they will miss 30 hours of math over the school year, they will miss 60 hours of reading and writing over the school year, they will miss over 1 year of school by graduation. When a student misses 4 days a month...they will miss 40 days a year, they will miss 60 hours of math over the school year, they will miss 120 hours of reading and writing over the school year, they will miss over 2 years of school by graduation.
