Throwback Thursday 📚✨ Step back in time with us to the origins of the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School! These classic snapshots capture a newly finished science lab, classroom, auditorium, and gymnasium in our brand-new building circa mid-1960's. The story behind the school is as memorable as the building itself! The journey started in 1955 with the formation of a jointure between Amity, Union, and Birdsboro. Expansion plans were approved in 1960, and Birdsboro was chosen as the site. Construction kicked off in 1964, overcoming challenges like strikes, a flood, and even a hurricane! Despite these obstacles, our doors opened on September 7, 1966—although some areas like the auditorium, gym, and art and music rooms were still under construction. 🛠️ Finally, in the spring of 1967, the Daniel Boone Junior-Senior High School was dedicated, marking the completion of a vision that shaped our school community. 🏫🌟 #ThrowbackThursday #BooneProud #DanielBooneClassof1967

🌻✨ Mrs. Jarrett's 1st grade class made a fantastic literacy connection with the Savvas story "Lifecycle of a Sunflower"! The students had a blast exploring a real sunflower in their garden at the Primary Center. They even enjoyed pretending to "shower" under its bent head! What a fun way to bring learning to life! 🌼📚 #LiteracyInAction #OutdoorLearning #SunflowerFun

🚌✨ National Bus Safety Week Tip #5! ✨🚌 It’s our last tip for the week: Red means STOP! When you see a school bus activate its amber/yellow lights, it’s approaching a stop. Never rush through these lights—students may not always wait for the red lights to activate before crossing. Remember, the bus will not block the intersection. 🚦 Important reminders: Do not turn left in front of the bus if students are loading on the right; they may be coming from all directions. Wait until the red lights are OFF before moving your vehicle. Let’s keep our kids safe on their way to school! Thank you for prioritizing bus safety this week and every day! #BusSafety #NationalBusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst
