❄️ Wishing You a Joyful Winter Break! 💙
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 — distributed to all DBASD staff — 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 — Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.

Our Buddy Breakfast on Saturday was so much fun! 🥞🎄
Hosted by our amazing Blazer Buddies, families enjoyed yummy pancakes and sausage, decorated cookies with the German Club, wrote letters to Santa with SADD/DBTI, created crafts with the Interact and Ecology Clubs, made slime with our Unified Ambassadors, and even snapped photos with Santa thanks to our Blazer Media team! 📸🎅
What a fantastic morning of smiles, teamwork, and holiday cheer. Best of all, all proceeds were donated to our Giving Market, which provides free food, clothing, and personal care items for our Boone families and community.
‼️ Our next Giving Market is TONIGHT, 12/22, at the high school from 4 PM - 6 PM. Enter through Door #10. We hope to see you there!

Our District Office friends enjoyed yesterday’s Harvest Feast lunch thanks to The Nutrition Group — and it was delicious! Students and staff were able to purchase this yummy Thanksgiving-style meal, and let’s just say… we were all very thankful not to have to cook it ourselves! 😄
A huge shout-out to The Nutrition Group for bringing the flavors of the season right to our cafeteria. 🍽️

🚍 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 🚍
Every driver plays a role in keeping our students safe. Remember:
🔴 Stop when the red lights are flashing—it’s the law.
🟡 Be extra cautious in school zones and near bus stops.
⚪ Never pass a stopped school bus when children are loading or unloading.
Students, you have an important part too:
🤚🏻 Always wait at least 10 feet back from the road until the bus stops completely.
👀 Make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of the bus.
🚶♂️ Cross the street only when the driver signals it’s safe.
📱 Stay alert—no phones or headphones when near traffic.
Together, we can make sure every student gets to and from school safely. 💙

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we complete these important upgrades to our athletic facilities. The track will reopen as soon as work is finished!

📚 Sometimes decisions are really easy! 😄
That was the case for IC 3rd grader Lexi, who had no trouble picking out her next great read from our Book Vending Machine!
The machine—generously donated by the Blazer Education Foundation—is filled with a variety of picture and chapter books for students to choose from. When students earn enough Positive Behavior tickets, they can trade them in for a book token and enjoy a brand-new book of their own!
👏 Congratulations on your great behavior and awesome book choice, Lexi! Keep up the great work! 💙📖

🔥🚒 This week we celebrated Fire Safety Week with a special visit from our local firefighters!
Firefighters from Amity and Monarch Fire Companies stopped by the Intermediate Center to share important fire safety tips and teach students about the vital role firefighters play in keeping our community safe.
Students even got a close-up look at the tools and equipment firefighters use in their daily jobs — a highlight of the day for many! 👩🚒👨🚒
A huge thank you to these local heroes for their time, dedication, and service! ❤️
