#TBT to the Class of 1983 🎓 Straight from the yearbook: “FRIENDS—we have made it! Our metamorphosis is complete…” The Class of 1983 captured the very heart of what high school is all about: friendship. From weekend hangouts to quiet talks, from laughter to tears, their reflections remind us that long after the tests and textbooks fade, it’s the friendships that last forever. As we count down to graduation day for the Class of 2025, may they carry the same love, laughter, and lifelong connections into their next chapter. 💫 #BooneProud #Classof1983 #TimelessFriendship #CountdownTo2025

🎓 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Barb Young 🎓 Celebrating 26 remarkable years of teaching, compassion, and community impact. Barb Young is more than a math teacher and self-proclaimed “math geek"—she's a force of good in the lives of 3,300+ students, colleagues and the DB community. ✨ Unforgettable Moment : “The impact we made with Relay For Life of Daniel Boone.” From 2011 to 2022, Barb helped raise over $1 million to fight cancer. Even during COVID, the mission never stopped. “There’s nothing like walking the survivor lap surrounded by students, friends, and family.” 🙌 Through teaching, Barb says she grew too: “I’m more empathetic. I’ve learned how one person can make a difference every day.” While she taught math, she focused on life lessons: “Being a good, productive human is more important than any one subject. College isn’t for everyone—we need people in trades, too. What we make doesn’t define our worth.” 💬 What she hopes students remember: “That I challenged them to think about math differently, to think critically, and to care. And I hope I’ve shown how to face adversity with strength and grace.” 🔥 Highlight Reel: Relay For Life of DB Great Adventure trips Teaching the kids of former students Watching students return to teach here Prom, lifelong friendships, visits from grads Those moments when the “lightbulb” comes on 🌍 What’s next? Traveling during the school year—and finally seeing the world without worrying about substitute plans. Barb, your dedication, heart, and humor have left a legacy that adds up to something truly special. #BlazerLegacySpotlight #BooneProud #ThankYouBarb

🎓 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Susan Fulmer 🎓 Celebrating 30 years of heart, history, and helping students find their path! After 4 years as a dedicated substitute and 26 years of teaching, Sue Fulmer is closing a meaningful chapter at Daniel Boone Area School District. Over the decades, Sue has done more than teach history—she’s made it, building a legacy of compassion, connection, and community involvement. One of Sue’s favorite memories? The pure joy on the faces of elementary students during the annual Seuss Show—especially when the “rain song” starts and they get an unexpected splash of fun! 🌧️📚 Sue reflects: “Daniel Boone has provided me with the opportunity to grow as both a teacher and a person through all of my experiences with students and colleagues. I am forever changed by all the friends I’ve made here.” 💡 Her goal was simple but powerful: to help students become compassionate, respectful, and successful citizens—and to light a fire for learning that continues long after graduation. 🎬 Highlight Reel Moments: Watching her “somewhat crazy” 9th grade Humanities students grow into thoughtful seniors Seeing the “lightbulb” moments when lessons really clicked Meaningful everyday conversations with students and staff Helping lead impactful service like the Angela Hohl Blood Drives and Relay for Life The fun, chaos, and creativity of the student-directed Seuss Shows 🎭 Model Senate debates, Mr. Boone performances, Shady Maple breakfasts, and coasters at Six Flags And the proudest moment: watching her students walk across the stage at graduation 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What’s next? More time with her grandchildren—new memories to be made, and new adventures to enjoy. Thank you, Sue, for the energy, empathy, and excellence you've brought to every class and every student. Your legacy lives on in the lives you’ve touched. #BlazerLegacySpotlight #BooneProud #ThankYouSue
