Boone's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is filled with dedicated parents, teachers, grandparents, and community members. Events sponsored by PTA have hundreds attend. Look for events like Spirit Night, Family Bingo nights, Family Fun Run, Breakfast Baazar, Fall Festival, parent education speakers, and Carnival. These opportunities bring family friendly opportunities for us to connect and spend time with each other.

OUR VEGGIE GARDEN NEEDS SOME VEGGIES
Hey Boone families, did you know we have a veggie garden? We do, and it's pretty awesome! Right now we need veggie donations to make it even better! Can you help? You can donate seeds or starts. Some examples are: snap and lima beans, asparagus crowns, beets, kale seeds or transplants, okra, peas, turnips, and more. Contact Luci at membership@boonepta.org or Matthew Garland at mat@peascommunity.org for a full list of what you can donate.
