Note from the Principal
I really love our Boone community!!! Over the last few weeks, the city of Austin had been under a tremendous cloud of doubt and fear. This situation hit close to home for our families last week when two events took place near us that brought home our vulnerability to the ebb and flow of life. One was directly related to the unfortunate situation involving the package bombings and the second, at Goodwill, turned out not to be directly associated with this situation.
While events were playing out all around us that Tuesday night, I sent out, and posted on the Boone PTA Facebook page, a message regarding Boone and the safety of our children. I would like to thank you for the tremendous number of positive responses that I received from so many of you. Many of you even volunteered to join me in the mornings during my grounds inspections. During that time of uncertainty, your confidence in me and in this school was overwhelming. I am eternally grateful to you for that show of support.
As I stated in that message - Boone is a fabulous community. One of our strengths is how we come together in tough times, help each other, and unite behind this wonderful school.
We are Boone and together we are great!!!
