Our Buddy Breakfast on Saturday was so much fun! 🥞🎄
Hosted by our amazing Blazer Buddies, families enjoyed yummy pancakes and sausage, decorated cookies with the German Club, wrote letters to Santa with SADD/DBTI, created crafts with the Interact and Ecology Clubs, made slime with our Unified Ambassadors, and even snapped photos with Santa thanks to our Blazer Media team! 📸🎅
What a fantastic morning of smiles, teamwork, and holiday cheer. Best of all, all proceeds were donated to our Giving Market, which provides free food, clothing, and personal care items for our Boone families and community.
‼️ Our next Giving Market is TONIGHT, 12/22, at the high school from 4 PM - 6 PM. Enter through Door #10. We hope to see you there!

💼 Real-World Lessons in Entrepreneurship 💡
A big thank you to Kristen Gates from Tompkins Community Bank for visiting our Entrepreneurship class at DBAHS this week! Kristen shared valuable insights into industry standards and best practices — helping students think critically about how to grow and sustain their own businesses.
In this class, students explore what it really takes to be your own boss — from starting a business and marketing products to managing employees and securing financial backing. With a mix of classroom instruction and real-world business experience, they’re learning what it takes to beat the odds and build something that lasts.
Opportunities like this help bridge the gap between classroom learning and career readiness. Thank you, Kristen, for inspiring our future entrepreneurs!

Daniel Boone Area School District will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule tomorrow, December 15th (Monday). While our local townships have done a tremendous job clearing the roads, we are seeing a considerable amount of drifting snow from the wind. The delay will allow for more time to clear the roads and additional daylight for safer travel.
Be safe and stay warm!

🛠️ Student Craftsmanship on Display! 🛠️
Students in Technological Design have been hard at work creating custom wooden trays — and the creativity has been amazing! Each student selected their own wood species and designed a unique pattern for the tray bottom, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
While the trays aren’t fully finished just yet, they’re only a few final steps away from completing a project unlike anything done in our high school woodshop in nearly 20 years!
The engagement and excitement in the room have been incredible. Students are proud of their craftsmanship, and the results speak for themselves. A huge thank you to the Blazer Education Foundation for helping fund the wood materials that made this project possible.
Interested in projects like this? Students can sign up for Technological Design next school year to be part of more hands-on, creative builds just like this one.
