🥶💧 Freezin’ for a Reason at the High School! 💧🥶
Last week, teachers at Daniel Boone Area High School helped raise money for Freezin’ for a Reason – SOPA, and the results were both successful and entertaining!
Throughout the week, bottles were placed in the cafeteria for students and staff to donate spare change to the teacher of their choice. The teachers who collected the most donations were named the “winners”… and their prize was having balloons filled with cold water popped over their heads!
The top-earning teachers were notified at the end of the week and took it all in stride, proving to be great sports for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped support this fun fundraiser!

Our Alumni Spotlight series - created by communications intern Daniel Shank - continues with a story of hard work, purpose, and a commitment to serving others.
After graduating from Daniel Boone Area High School in 1979, Richie Bowden threw himself right into work.
Beginning in Mr. Bowden's early childhood, he would help out in his father’s auto mechanic garage. It was in these moments that Mr. Bowden’s father instilled in him the work ethic that he possesses today.
That way of life stuck with Mr. Bowden. At times, he worked two full-time jobs and another on the weekends, working up to 20 hours a day. Mr. Bowden described it as an “addiction” to making money; working was his fulfillment.
But then, one day, that changed. “God was calling me that I had to go into the community.” At first he was reluctant, but soon he realized: “How much is enough?”
Now, Mr. Bowden is profoundly involved in various community services. Using expertise crafted through decades of work, he helps fix and renovate houses with Mission Trip Birdsboro and Restoring Hope of Berks County. Mission Trip Birdsboro has grown to encompass seven different partnership organizations. Anyone can volunteer to help out, and there is even a prominent youth presence. 🔨
He also helps feed those in need with Hopewell Love Community Services and sings with Threefold Blessings, a traveling praise and worship team where he has used his gifts to honor God almost every Sunday.
Mr. Bowden said his heart was never in school, but it is evident that he possesses the exact skills that schools are designed to teach. Grades alone cannot change the world, but the impact Mr. Bowden has on the community certainly can.
Mr. Bowden also had a few words of advice for current high school students, “Stick with it.”

🕰️ Throwback Thursday: Future Business Leaders of America 🕰️
In 1969, the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter was established at Daniel Boone. FBLA was intended to give interested business students the opportunity to expand their abilities and gain experience in the business field.
Today, the organization includes nearly 200,000 high schoolers nationwide. At Daniel Boone, Miss Madison served as the club’s first advisor 57 years ago, and today the chapter is led by Mr. Moulin. While much has changed over the years, the club’s commitment to leadership, learning, and community service has remained unchanged.
Thanks to student intern, Daniel Shank, for creating this month's Throwback Thursday post!
