LAST DAY of Spring Break!  See you back in school tomorrow, Tuesday, April 7! On a pale yellow background with butterflies, daisies and dandelions.

Even though school isn’t in session today, we’re celebrating School Librarian Appreciation Day! 📚💙

Our school librarians do so much more than check out books. They spark curiosity, foster a love of reading, guide research, support classroom learning, and help students discover new worlds — one page at a time. From recommending the perfect book to teaching essential information literacy skills, they empower our students to think critically and dream big.

Thank you for all you do for our students! ✨

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.”

💙✨ Spreading Kindness at the Primary Center!

Students and staff at the Primary Center recently took on the challenge of sharing random acts of kindness throughout the building, and the results were amazing! From kind words to thoughtful gestures, our students showed how small acts can make a big difference.

One fun example comes from Miss Goudie’s class, who created a colorful and creative picture of Mr. Steinman, our Primary Center art teacher, spreading kindness like confetti! 🎨🎉

We are proud of our students for making our school a place where kindness grows every day.

🌱🟢 Learning How to Stay Safe!

Representatives from the Penn State Master Gardeners visited all first grade classrooms at the Primary Center to teach students how to stay safe from harmful substances that may be found at home. As part of the lesson, students learned about the importance of the familiar Mr. Yuk symbol and how it helps remind us to stay away from poisons and unsafe materials.

Thank you to the Master Gardeners for sharing this important safety information with our students in a fun and engaging way!

📚❤️ Celebrating the Joy of Reading at the Primary Center!

Primary Center students had a wonderful time celebrating Read Across America Week with lots of stories, smiles, and special guests. During our annual Elementary Reading Day, students from the high school visited to share their love of reading by reading stories with our younger students.

The library was extra cozy for the occasion, complete with fun reading tents that made story time even more exciting. A big thank you to Primary Center parent Mrs. Kingsbury for helping create this special space for our students!

We love seeing our Blazers come together to share the joy of reading. 💙📖
