Boone Middle School wrapped up the school year with an end-of-the-year assembly and fun! 🤩 The assembly featured a talent show, academic and behavior awards, and plenty of school spirit. A special tradition continued as the Boone Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International honored 8th graders with certificates—something they’ve proudly done for over 40 years. The fun continued with 7th and 8th graders spending the rest of the day celebrating with games, sandcastle building, a slip and slide, and more. What a memorable way to close out a year of hard work and success! 🎉
