🌸 Blossoming Young Gardeners at Daniel Boone! 🌱
Back in the spring, our Kindergarten and 1st grade students planted a beautiful garden, and look at it now! 🌿🌷 Through a mini-garden curriculum, our Primary and Intermediate Center life skill classrooms were instrumental in the planting process. From tiny seeds to flourishing plants, they've learned the joys of gardening and the importance of nurturing nature. 🌻 🫑
A special thanks to Ashley Griffith, our district Wellness Coordinator, who implemented this fantastic wellness initiative, and to the HS Ecology Club for their invaluable help with planting our Kinder "garden" during our Garden Day activity in the Spring. The kids' enthusiasm and dedication have truly brought this garden to life! 🌟
How are your gardens doing this summer? We'd love to see your progress, too! 🌺☀️

🎉🏅 Huge congratulations to Chris Guiliano for winning the gold medal in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay! 🏊♂️🇺🇸 Paris can practically hear Boone cheering from miles away! 🗼🔥 Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off—what an incredible achievement! 🥇👏 #OlympicGold #TeamUSA #Paris2024 #BooneProud
We’re just days away from watching our very own Chris Guiliano compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics! 🎉🏅
Chris, a 2021 Boone grad and three-time PIAA swim champion, is making waves on the world stage. Chris, who is currently majoring in economics with a minor in computing and digital technologies at Notre Dame, has worked incredibly hard to reach this pinnacle of athletic achievement. We couldn’t be more proud of him!
Here’s when you can catch him in action:
📅 Competition Schedule (from the Reading Eagle):
July 28: Guiliano gets into the pool at 5 a.m. for his first individual event – the heats of the 200 freestyle which will be on USA network. The semifinals in the 200 free are at 2:50 p.m. and will be shown on NBC.
July 29: If he qualifies for the 200 free finals, Guiliano will swim at 2:40 p.m. and it will be shown on NBC.
July 30: This shapes up to be a busy day for Guiliano. The 100 freestyle heats start 5 a.m. and will be shown on USA network and streamed on Peacock. Guiliano won this event at the U.S. Trials. The semifinals will be later in the day at 2:30 p.m. and shown on NBC. The heats in the 4 x 200 freestyle relay will also be held in the morning session, with the finals ending the evening program at 3:59 p.m. NBC will televise the evening session.
July 31: The men’s final in the 100 free is scheduled for 4:15 p.m., the day’s last event, and will be televised on NBC.
Aug. 1: Should Guiliano swim in the 100 freestyle finals, he won’t have long to rest with the heats in the 50 freestyle starting at 5 a.m. They will be shown on USA network. The 50 semifinals are at 2:40 p.m. and will be shown on NBC.
Aug. 2: The 50 finals are at 2:30 p.m. and will be on NBC. Unless Guiliano swims the freestyle on any of the U.S.’s medley relays, the 50 free would be his last event. The swimming competition ends Aug. 4.
Our school buildings are proudly showing their support with special signage cheering him on! Check out the attached pictures to see the Boone spirit in full swing. 📸🏫
Make sure to tune in and cheer him on from wherever you are! Let’s keep the Boone pride alive as Chris takes on the world! 🌍💪

🌟 Meet Gwen Harding, an exceptional Girl Scout Cadette from Douglassville! 🌟
Gwen recently achieved the prestigious Girl Scout Silver Award by leading a remarkable community project at St Gabriel's Church. 🌧️ She and her team designed and installed a rain barrel to conserve water, showing incredible environmental stewardship.
But Gwen didn't stop there! 🌿 She also restored the Garden of Hope, a previous Silver Award project, and even planned a 'Wonders of Water Journey' to educate younger scouts about global water issues. 💧
What's more inspiring? The vegetables grown in the garden will be donated to our local community, making a meaningful impact where it's needed most. 🥦🥕
Let's celebrate Gwen's dedication to service and leadership! 🎉👏

🙌🏻 We wanted to share an amazing internship program that's making a real difference in our community. Thanks to Maria Rapchinski, the K-12 Career Innovation Coordinator here at Daniel Boone, students have the incredible opportunity to gain hands-on experience through internships with local businesses.
If you're a Boone high school student (or a parent of one), be sure to take advantage of these opportunities during the upcoming school year. It's a great chance to explore career paths, build valuable skills, and make meaningful connections in our community.
