The High School Student Government is hosting a non-perishable food item Food Drive this week, and we need YOUR help! Here's how it works: Elementary and Middle School: The grade that collects the most items will win a Movie Day! High School: For every five items you donate, you'll earn a raffle ticket for a chance to win some amazing prizes (see flyer below for details). Every donation helps, and together we can make a big impact in our own community. Donated items will be distributed to families in need right here in the Daniel Boone Area School District. Let's show some school spirit while coming together as a community! Drop off your donations in the collection boxes located in the main entrances of each school building. Let’s make this the best food drive yet! 📦💙

🕰️ Throwback Thursday: Birdsboro’s Original High School – The Washington Building 🕰️ Did you know that the original high school in Birdsboro was called the Washington Building? (Pictured in the 1st photo) Built in 1896, it stood proudly on W 2nd Street and served the community for over three decades. 🏫 In 1927, the “new” Birdsboro High School – the Roosevelt Building (pictured here in the 2nd photo taken in 1945) – was constructed between Adams and Jefferson Streets on W 3rd, right behind the Washington Building. The last photo shows students leaving the old Roosevelt Building heading down the hill to the newly constructed Birdsboro Elementary building. Sadly, the historic Washington Building was demolished in 1970, but its legacy lives on in the stories and memories of Birdsboro’s past. 📸✨ *photos and information courtesy of berksnostalgia.com*

We are so excited to celebrate Isaac Sherman, a junior at DBAHS, whose artwork was selected as the winner of the 2024 Christmas in Birdsboro Ornament Contest! 🌟 His beautiful design will be featured as the official ornament for this year’s festivities. 🎄✨ You can pick up Isaac’s ornament for yourself at the Birdsboro Community Center or during the Christmas in Birdsboro event on December 14th from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM! 🎁
