Boone Meadow Friday Flyer
Weekly Family Update - September 6, 2024
Lifelines are a key part of our daily life at school, guiding students on how to positively impact the world around them. For the month of September, we’re focusing on the Lifeline of Kindness. We've had meaningful conversations with students about the importance of kindness and how small, thoughtful acts can help everyone feel a sense of belonging and care. Whether it’s a random act of kindness or simply sharing a smile, these moments can brighten someone’s day and make our world a little better.
This weekend also brings the much-anticipated annual Zionsville Fall Festival! The parade begins at 10:00 AM, stepping off from the high school and ending in downtown Zionsville. Lions Park will be bustling with carnival fun on both Saturday and Sunday—I hope to see many of you there!
Boone Meadow Voices (choir) begins on Monday (9/9/24), and we are excited to hear the sweet voices create great music. If you are interested in an after school choir program or any other after school enrichment opportunities offered at Boone Meadow, please check out the Eagle Recreation information and offerings located near the end of this flyer. Also on Monday, we hold our first PTO meeting of the year. Please view the PTO information below for more details.
September also means it’s time for our annual PTO-sponsored Jog-A-Thon! This important fundraising event will take place on Friday, September 27th. Be sure to check the attached flyer for details and stay tuned for more information.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Join us in helping us in keeping BME looking nice as we transition into fall.
All are welcome big and small as we clean up the outside of BME. No supplies are required but garden gloves and any trimming tools are always a help as we trim up the bushes and trees.
