Boone Meadow Friday Flyer
May 31, 2024
Happy Friday, Families, and Welcome to Summer Break!
I can’t believe that today is the last day of the 2024-2025 school year! This year seems to have flown by faster than ever. We’ve had an incredible year, and our students got to mark the end by signing our walls, creating a little "time capsule" for future generations to discover during the next school renovation.
Building Closed this Summer: Speaking of renovations, please remember that the building will be closed starting Tuesday, June 4th, and the closure will extend through most of July. Contractors will be busy working on flooring, wallcovering, paint, trim, and other improvements. We don’t have an exact reopening date yet. The end of June and early July are particularly quiet times for our team as we take some much-needed vacation. However, much of the summer, our office team will be working remotely, so don’t hesitate to reach out if needed. We will keep families updated on the reopening date through our summer communications.
Kona Ice: To celebrate the start of summer, Kona Ice trucks will be at Eagles Nest and Anson today after school (around 3:30 PM). Come and enjoy a refreshing treat!
Summer Reading at Hussey-Mayfield Library: Don’t forget to sign up for the summer reading program at our local libraries in Zionsville and Whitestown. More information can be found in the infographic below.
Back to School Events: Here are some important dates to keep in mind for the upcoming school year:
- Class placements/assignments will be released in early August.
- Open Houses:
- August 7th for Preschool and Kindergarten
- August 8th for 1st through 4th grade
- First day back to school: August 13
Enjoy your summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the fall!

May Lifeline: Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence
"I recognize, emotionally experience, and appreciate the beauty around me and the skill of others."
What is Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence?
Those who express an appreciation of beauty & excellence notice and appreciate beauty, excellence and/or skilled performance in all domains of life, from nature to art to mathematics to science to everyday experience.
People high in Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence are responsive to these three types of goodness:
- PHYSICAL BEAUTY - This may include auditory, tactile or abstract. This type of goodness produces awe and wonder in the person experiencing it.
- SKILL OR TALENT (EXCELLENCE) - This is often energizing, and compels a person to pursue their own goals. It inspires admiration.
- VIRTUE OR MORAL GOODNESS (MORAL BEAUTY) - Virtuous goodness makes someone want to be better, more loving, and caring.
Building Closure This Summer
Due to BME's summer renovation project, the school building will be closed beginning June 4th. Timeline for reopening the building will be communicated as more information becomes available. Don't hesitate to reach out to us as the office team will be working remotely from other locations.
Boone Meadow will receive new flooring, paint, and wall coverings throughout a vast majority of the building. We are excited about and grateful for this refreshing of our building.
