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.

💙✨ 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.

📚❤️ 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. 💙📖

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.”

📚✨ World Read Aloud Day Celebration at the Primary Center! ✨📚
On February 4th, Primary Center families joined us in celebrating World Read Aloud Day by participating in Mrs. Latimer’s Reading Challenge! Students who took a book home made a special promise to read together as a family and share a photo of their literacy moment. 💙
Did you know that reading together for just a few minutes each day can:
📖 Strengthen the parent/child bond
🗣️ Accelerate language and vocabulary development
✏️ Build essential literacy skills
👂 Improve listening skills and concentration
🌟 Spark imagination and creativity
Daily reading can expose children to millions more words, helping to narrow the achievement gap. Simply put — reading is one of the most important skills we ever learn!
We are so thankful to our incredible families who participated and continue to prioritize learning at home. Your partnership makes all the difference! 💫
