We are challenging our students and families to a character dare! This month's dare: Gratitude Grams! Create a card or note about a favorite moment you shared (or something you appreciate) with a neighbor or someone nearby. Sign it as a family and deliver.
If delivering the note in person feels uncomfortable, send it by mail or email. Take it to the next level and offer a time to connect for a neighborhood hangout with food and games!
Let's create positivity that echoes throughout our school community!

We would like to extend our sincerest thank you to the community for supporting the Boone Hope Foundation.
Your support and enthusiasm raised $24,622.05 at the 19th annual Hope Festival! This includes proceeds from the silent auction, donations, boutique, and cafe. $24,622.05 is the total for the day ONLY--it doesn’t include any mail-in or recently received donations.
The Boone Hope Foundation offers immediate, temporary assistance to community children and their families in emergency situations, such as food, clothing, shelter, medical needs, or transportation, aiming to create a more effective learning environment in Boone schools.
Thank you for donating and purchasing silent auction items, volunteering before or at the event, performing or leading students in musical performance, and attending the festival! It is wonderful to see community members, students, retired school staff, and current staff members socializing. It was a great day!

Attending school consistently is one of the best things your child can do for their future. Students with a consistent attendance record are more likely to graduate high school and build successful careers later in life.
It’s never too early to prioritize regular school attendance. Please do your part to nurture a love for learning at home! 🙏

Did you know that 9th grade attendance is better at predicting drop-out rates than a student’s 8th grade test scores?
Students need to be in school every day – even if they’re doing well in all their classes. Consistent attendance is key for keeping students on track towards graduation. Please make sure your student is in school today!
