Disability Awareness Week at the Middle School 💙

In recognition of Disability Awareness Week, our middle school students participated in a meaningful building-wide activity. Each student colored a paper sock, which are now proudly displayed on bulletin boards and throughout the hallways as a symbol of inclusion, acceptance, and understanding.

The sock display represents the idea that while everyone is different, each person plays an important part in making our school community strong. We are proud of our students for taking part in this activity and helping to promote kindness, respect, and awareness for all.

Stay safe while riding! 🚲🛴

With the increased use of e-bikes and scooters, it’s important for students and families to review basic safety guidelines before heading out. Please take a moment to look over the E-Bikes & Scooters Safety Guidelines poster to make sure everyone understands the rules for safe and responsible riding in our community.

Wearing a helmet, following traffic laws, and riding with awareness can help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe. Thank you for helping us promote safe habits both in school and around town.

Poster titled “E-Bikes & Scooters Safety Guidelines” with the slogan “Ride Smart. Ride Safe. Ride Respectfully.” The poster lists safety rules for students using electric bikes and scooters. Rules include obeying traffic laws, wearing a helmet if under 16, riding in bike lanes instead of sidewalks, and riding only one person per bike or scooter. Safety tips include wearing bright clothing, staying alert, checking brakes and tires, and slowing down in school zones. On school grounds, students should walk their bikes or scooters, avoid riding through parking lots or sidewalks, and use bike racks to secure equipment. The poster ends with the message that safety is everyone’s responsibility and includes the Daniel Boone logo and the phrase “Be safe. Be smart. Be Boone Proud.”

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.”

If you or someone you know would like to be featured in a future Alumni Spotlight, please contact us at alumni.relations@dboone.org
to share your story.
