January 2016 Online Edition
Principal's Message
Dear Families and Friends of Boone School,
Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone! As many of you know, I recently became a mom to a beautiful baby boy! It has been an amazing holiday season for me, and I hope you all are having a wonderful and peaceful vacation. I have taken some time away from Boone to stay home with my family. However, I look forward to seeing everyone again in January. I'm especially excited about having Chicago Cares and Target return once again to Boone for our annual day of service over the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. I hope many of you will join us to continue to beautify Boone!
Enjoy your Winter Break and we will see everyone when school resumes on January 4th, 2016. Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, Principal
Congratulations to our Girls Volleyball Team!
