❄️ Wishing You a Joyful Winter Break! πŸ’™

As we head into winter break, we want to take a moment to wish all of our Blazer families a season filled with joy, rest, and moments that warm the heart.

This year’s district holiday card β€” distributed to all DBASD staff β€” was designed by Ninaluz Munteanu, Class of 2029. Her playful snowman, festive trees, and hand-drawn swirls beautifully capture the creativity, spirit, and heart of the season.

As we wrap up 2025, we are grateful for the dedication, care, and community spirit that make Daniel Boone such a special place. Your support makes a lasting impact on our students, our schools, and one another.

From all of us at the Daniel Boone Area School District β€” Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.

πŸ’Ό Real-World Lessons in Entrepreneurship πŸ’‘

A big thank you to Kristen Gates from Tompkins Community Bank for visiting our Entrepreneurship class at DBAHS this week! Kristen shared valuable insights into industry standards and best practices β€” helping students think critically about how to grow and sustain their own businesses.

In this class, students explore what it really takes to be your own boss β€” from starting a business and marketing products to managing employees and securing financial backing. With a mix of classroom instruction and real-world business experience, they’re learning what it takes to beat the odds and build something that lasts.

Opportunities like this help bridge the gap between classroom learning and career readiness. Thank you, Kristen, for inspiring our future entrepreneurs!

πŸ’™ Blazers Give Back! πŸ’™

Today, members of the DBAHS Student Government made the rounds to each building across the district to collect donations for our Giving Market β€” and the response from our Blazer community was incredible!

The Giving Market is a district-wide initiative that offers free non-perishable food, personal hygiene products, and other essential items to Boone families and community members β€” no registration, no cost, just support for those who need it.

Thanks to your donations, the shelves are stocked and ready to make a difference. We’re proud of our students for leading this effort and grateful to our entire community for stepping up!

πŸ“… The schedule for the 2026 Giving Market will be announced soon.

πŸ’¬ Interested in supporting the market? Reach out to Ashley Griffith, District Wellness Coordinator, or Lisa Kieke, Community Relations Specialist.

Together, we are building a culture of kindness, compassion, and community β€” one Blazer Moment at a time.
