🌟 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Shelly Mieczkowski 🌟
After an incredible 41 years in the Daniel Boone Area School District—21 years as a Special Education teacher and 20 years as Director of Special Education—Shelly Mieczkowski retires having transformed lives and systems alike.
Memorable Moments?
Blazer Olympics and being featured on a 20/20 episode that highlighted one of her students with Asperger Syndrome when she was an Autistic Support teacher—just two shining examples of a career full of purpose.
Over the years, Shelly championed inclusive education, working tirelessly to create structures that recognize individual strengths, promote independence, and foster belonging.
🛠️ Highlight Reel:
Overhauled the district’s IEP development and implementation process
Launched districtwide training to shift the culture from compliance to inclusion
Built partnerships with families, agencies, and community organizations
Led with advocacy, courage, and compassion in tough conversations
Celebrated every milestone as students overcame obstacles and achieved success
Left behind a stronger special education system, empowered faculty, and students who know they belong
Shelly shares:
“My years in Daniel Boone have taught me the value of building meaningful relationships with students, families, and colleagues. I’ve always worked to create systems that make a real difference.”
❤️ What’s next?
Continue advocating for students with special education needs—on a broader stage!
Thank you, Shelly, for building a legacy rooted in inclusion, equity, and heart.
#BlazerLegacySpotlight #BooneProud #ThankYouShelly

#TBT to the Class of 1983 🎓
Straight from the yearbook: “FRIENDS—we have made it! Our metamorphosis is complete…”
The Class of 1983 captured the very heart of what high school is all about: friendship. From weekend hangouts to quiet talks, from laughter to tears, their reflections remind us that long after the tests and textbooks fade, it’s the friendships that last forever.
As we count down to graduation day for the Class of 2025, may they carry the same love, laughter, and lifelong connections into their next chapter. 💫
#BooneProud #Classof1983 #TimelessFriendship #CountdownTo2025
🎉 What an incredible day at Blazer Olympics on Friday, May 30th! Our athletes brought the energy, the smiles, and the spirit!
From cheering crowds to friendly competition, the day was filled with unforgettable moments — including our student relay team beating the admin team in a relay race! 🏃💨💥
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event so special — staff, volunteers, families, and our supportive community. We’re already looking forward to next year!

🎉 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Anita Brady 🎉
Celebrating 21 years of learning, laughter, and love—2 years in Kindergarten and 19 unforgettable years in 1st grade!
For over two decades, Anita Brady has been a joyful and steady presence in the lives of Daniel Boone’s youngest learners. With a heart full of patience and a classroom full of curiosity, Anita helped her students build strong foundations—not just in reading and math, but in confidence, kindness, and resilience.
📚 One of her favorite memories?
“The year I looped with my Kindergarten class to 1st grade! Day 1 was a breeze—we all knew what to expect from each other.” That unique experience brought extra joy and connection, a hallmark of Anita’s teaching approach.
Throughout her career, Anita embraced the opportunity to work with a diverse population of students and families. “It helped me understand the importance of looking at individual needs—not just for students, but for their families too.” Her empathy and insight touched lives far beyond the classroom.
💡 Words she hopes her students carry with them:
“Never let the fear of being wrong or making a mistake hold you back.”
🎬 Highlight Reel Moments:
A blooper reel of tech struggles (“How many times do I have to be reminded to make a copy of a document so I don’t accidentally edit the original?” 🙈)
Warm memories of laughter with teammates
Countless "aha!" moments as little learners blossomed
Classroom joy, morning routines, and lessons that will last a lifetime
🏖️ What’s next?
Beach trips after Labor Day (no crowds!), spontaneous travel, and the simple joy of never having to worry about driving in the snow again.
Anita, thank you for 21 years of heart-filled teaching. Your dedication, humor, and impact will ripple through generations of students. Wishing you joy, adventure, and warm sand in your toes in this next chapter.
#BlazerLegacySpotlight #BooneProud #ThankYouAnita
📣 Reminder for Families: Check Lunch Account Balances! 🍽️
As the end of the school year approaches, please take a moment to check your student’s café account balance.
➡️ If a balance is due, be sure to submit payment by the last day of school.
🔔 Important: All unpaid accounts will be sent to G.H. Harris Associates, Inc. for collections at the end of June 2025, and additional fees will apply once an account is turned over.
If you have any questions, please contact Dianne Donahoe in the District Office at dianne.donahoe@dboone.org.
Thank you for your attention and continued support!
🎉 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Pat Smith 🎉
Celebrating 21 years of dedication, laughter, and learning!
From computer lab to math intervention, Pat Smith has left a meaningful mark on the Daniel Boone Area School District. Over the past 21 years—10 as a computer teacher at the Middle School and Primary Center and 11 as a K–1 Math Interventionist—Pat’s impact has reached across generations.
Some of her favorite memories include Trick or Treat nights at the high school, the end-of-year graduate parade through the Primary Center, and older students mentoring younger ones. But one moment will always shine brightest—when the entire Primary Center surprised her with a celebration for her 60th birthday. 💙
Pat reflects on the power of community connections and relationships: from math groups to casual chats at pickup, she’s built bonds that have shaped her both professionally and personally. Her goal has always been to instill a love of learning and to support every child as a whole person—academically and emotionally.
📽️ Highlight reel moments:
The call from MaryAnn Traynor saying “you’re hired!”
Aides like Debbie, Tina, Alison, and Sandy who made that first year unforgettable
The long drives up Route 422 (always hoping for no lane closures!)
Watching technology evolve—from towering monitors to tiny iPads
That universal elementary school milestone: losing a tooth 😄
Receiving a Blazer Foundation grant to bring a special assembly to the Primary Center
The daily joy of reciting the PAWS pledge and seeing little faces light up with understanding
As Pat says, “You never stop learning. Each day brings new beginnings and challenges.”
⛳️ What’s next? Retirement means saying “yes” to golf on weekdays—and lots of it!
Thank you, Pat, for your years of heart and service. You’ve given our students so much to smile about—and we hope your next chapter brings even more joy.
#BlazerLegacySpotlight #BooneProud #ThankYouPat

#TBT to the Class of 2020 🎓
Five short years ago, this class faced challenges no one could have imagined. From senior parades to virtual graduations, they proved that resilience, spirit, and community can shine even in the darkest of times. COVID couldn’t dim their light.
As we count down to the graduation of the Class of 2025, we look back with admiration on the Class of 2020—trailblazers of perseverance and heart. 💻🎉

📸 Blazer Legacy Spotlight: Alison Danner
Today, we celebrate Alison Danner, who is retiring after 17 impactful years with the Daniel Boone Area School District. Originally hired as an Autistic Support Aide, Alison also served as a Learning Support and Instructional Aide, always working to support and empower our students.
Alison’s favorite memories include the legendary, laughter-filled staff scavenger hunts, and the joy of working in a collaborative environment where student success always came first. She shared, “My hope is that I’ve instilled confidence and coping skills in students, and that they know we’re here to help them through any obstacles they may face.”
She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and compassion—and the gratitude of countless students, families, and amazing colleagues who she was lucky enough to work alongside of over the years.
As she heads into retirement, Alison is looking forward to quiet morning walks, traveling, and soaking up time at her beach house. 🏖️
Thank you, Alison, for everything you’ve done to support our students and district. You will be missed! 💙 #BooneProud #BlazerLegacy #ThankYouAlison
