Happy Principal Appreciation Month to our amazing Principal 🖤💛🐾 Thank you for leading with vision, dedication, and a heart for our scholars, staff, and community. Your leadership creates opportunities for our Panthers to learn, grow, and thrive every day.

PART 1: SCIENCE - Our Panthers took STEM learning beyond the classroom! 🧪🔬🐾 From hands-on experiments to new discoveries, our scholars had the opportunity to explore, question, create, and experience STEM in a whole new way. And this is only Part 1 👀 Next up: ROBOTICS! 🤖

September was Attendance Awareness Month, and our Panthers showed up! 🐾💛 We celebrated the students AND staff who make Boone a better place simply by being here. Because every day matters, every moment of learning counts, and showing up is something worth celebrating! 🎉📚

They earned it, now it’s time to PLAY! Our Panthers celebrated positive choices and PROWL behaviors at Boone Bonus Play, our September PBIS event! 🎉 At Boone, we don’t just teach expectations. We celebrate our scholars when they show them! 🖤 🐾💛
