📸 Throwback Thursday: Birdsboro’s Second High School — The Roosevelt Building 🏫
Did you know that Birdsboro’s second high school had its own school song (pictured below)? 🎶
Built in 1927, the Roosevelt Building served as Birdsboro’s high school until 1955, when Amity, Union, and Birdsboro joined together. After that, it became the Daniel Boone Junior High School. The building was located just behind the original high school—the Washington Building—between Adams and Jefferson Streets on West 3rd Street.
Drop a comment if you remember this school song! 👇🎵
✨ Behind the Scenes: Our monthly Throwback Thursday posts are being created by our Communications Intern, senior Dan Shank. Dan enjoys research and interviews and is excited to hone his skills while working alongside our DB Communications Team.

🤖 STEAM in Action!
Students in Mrs. Serianni’s classes are putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test with their new KEVA Bot Mazes, generously provided by the Blazer Education Foundation.
These STEM-focused building kits let kids design and build their own motorized “bristle bots” and create custom mazes for them to navigate. Using wooden planks, connectors, and craft materials, students explore engineering, coding, and hands-on experimentation, all while having fun!
We love seeing our students think, build, and innovate every day! 💡

💙🥕 Community Kindness in Action 🥕💙
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.
