🎵 On Friday, Mr. Rabenold’s AP Music Theory class saw Laufey in concert in Philadelphia. The concert was incredible, and everyone had a great time! ✨ 🕒 Laufey is a singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter who blends pop, jazz, bossa nova, and classical genres, and students in AP Music Theory are using her music to apply what they’re learning in class. 🎤 🎹 🎸 🎻

Dear Brandywine Heights Families,
On Wednesday, November 13, the Brandywine Heights Area School District will join people around the globe in celebrating World Kindness Day! This special day is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the power of kindness and to remind one another that even small acts can make a big difference.
Each of our schools has planned meaningful activities to highlight what kindness means to our students and how it can grow throughout our community:
🌱 Elementary School – “Giving Life to Kindness”
Elementary students will bring a Kindness Tree to life in the school cafeteria! Each student will reflect on the prompt “Kindness is…” and share their thoughts by adding a personalized leaf to the tree’s branches. Together, their words will form a beautiful display of compassion and creativity.
Intermediate & Middle School – “Be the ‘I’ in KIND”
Intermediate and Middle School students will “be the ‘I’ in KIND” by adding their handprints to a special backdrop in the IS/MS cafeteria. This interactive display will give every student the chance to leave their mark and celebrate the spirit of kindness with a fun photo opportunity!
💛 High School – “Kindness in Action”
At the High School, all grade levels will come together on the new turf field to form the word “KIND.” A drone photo will capture this powerful image of Kindness in Action as students join in a memorable display of unity and compassion.
(Please note: The photo will be taken prior to BCTC students departing at 10:00 a.m.)
We are so proud of our students and staff for making kindness a cornerstone of our district’s culture. Thank you for your continued support in helping us spread positivity and compassion—today and every day!
With gratitude,
Brandywine Heights Area School District

Hello Brandywine Families,
As a reminder, we are in the final phase of construction, installation of the all-weather track.
It is absolutely critical that no one walks on the track during this process. The track is a three-layer system, and each layer requires approximately 2–3 days to cure and fully dry. Walking on the surface during this installation phase will cause permanent damage to the final product.
We kindly ask that you please avoid using the entire track and turf field stadium area at the High School until approximately October 24 to ensure the best possible outcome for our students and community.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support as we complete this exciting project!

Hello Brandywine Families,
We wanted to share a quick update on the High School Stadium Project. The final phase of construction, installation of the all-weather track, is now underway!
It is critical that no one walks on the track during this process. The track is a three-layer system, and each layer requires approximately 2–3 days to cure and fully dry. Walking on the surface before it’s ready can leave imprints and cause long-term damage to the final product.
We kindly ask that you please avoid using the entire track and turf field stadium area at the High School until approximately October 24 to ensure the best possible outcome for our students and community.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support as we complete this exciting project!

Today was Mr. Saltzburg’s last day at BHHS. Mr. Saltzburg has been the Director of Instrumental Music for the last 8+ years and also teaches 4th Grade Band and instrument lessons. Under his direction, BHHS bands have performed in Disney World, Gatlinburg, the PA State Capitol, and the 2021 Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade. He also brought in numerous clinicians to work with both the Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble. Most importantly, he has impacted so many students with his musical knowledge and encouragement (and sarcasm). Thank you for your countless hours and dedication to your students and the BH Music Department. We wish you the best!
