That feeling when the alarm goes off and winter break is officially over… 😅
Welcome back, Boone students and staff! We hope everyone enjoyed a restful and fun winter break. Time to grab the coffee, shake off the sleepies, and jump back into learning—one yawn at a time! ☕📚
We got this! 💙

January is School Board Appreciation Month, and we want to thank our dedicated Daniel Boone Area School District Board of Directors for their leadership, time, and commitment to our students, staff, and community.
Serving on a school board takes countless hours of service, thoughtful decision-making, and a true dedication to public education. We are grateful for their continued support of student success and for helping guide our district forward.
Thank you for all you do to support Boone!

Installing fresh starts, new memories, and another great year at Boone.
Happy New Year to our DB families! 🎉💙 #BooneProud

At our December 22nd Giving Market, we were incredibly grateful to receive a generous donation of fresh produce from one of our middle school students, David, as part of his Bar Mitzvah project.
With the support of his mom, David has focused his project on community service, making a meaningful impact in many ways. In addition to this produce donation, David has provided school supplies to families in need, organized a coat and clothing drive, and will be working with Opportunity House to continue serving others.
Our Giving Market attendees were so thankful for the fresh produce. Thanks to the abundance, we were also able to share with the greater Boone community by stocking the community fridge at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Birdsboro.
We are proud of David’s compassion and commitment to helping others—his kindness truly reflects the spirit of Boone.

Wishing our Daniel Boone Area School District families a joyful Christmas filled with peace, warmth, and time with those you love. Thank you for being such a supportive and caring community—we are truly #BooneProud.

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.

On Tuesday, December 16th, the Select Chorus and Jazz Band from DBAMS took their talents on the road, visiting both the Intermediate Center and the Primary Center as part of a special Performance Tour.
In between performances, students enjoyed lunch at McDonald’s—and even surprised the staff with a song as a heartfelt thank you! 🎤💙
Our DBAMS music students loved sharing their talents and spreading holiday cheer with our younger students and community partners. What a wonderful way to celebrate the season!

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 — 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!
📅 The schedule for the 2026 Giving Market will be announced soon.
💬 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 — one Blazer Moment at a time.
