Notes from the Principal
We are definitely entering the cold days of Winter! While things are cooling off outside, the inside of our classrooms are heating up with learning! This is a very important time of learning in the cycle of a school year. It is great to see the student work and their goals posted throughout the building. They are definitely working hard and focused in on learning.
We do need to continue to be very aware of the Omicron CoVid variant that is making its presence known in our community. We are definitely feeling it’s impact here at Boone. I so appreciate the confidence and trust that our community has shown us throughout these last months. Please know that, with your help, we will continue to do all we can to make Boone a safe and caring environment for our children.
As always, please reach out to me or to our Assistant Principal, Kristy Crawford, with any questions and concerns you may have. We are here to help as much as we can as we navigate these ever changing times. Together, we are Boone STRONG and we DO make a difference!
