Brandywine Heights Elementary School -

Kindergarten was very excited when Santa came to visit school today! They loved listening to him read a story to them. Only 1 more day before Christmas break.

REMINDER! Early dismissal tomorrow, December 19th! Car riders will be dismissed at 12:50pm and bus riders/walkers will be dismissed at 1:05pm. 🏫 🔔🚌

Bullet Academy children joined Mrs. Kemp's students for fun and exploration at The Sensory Village. Thank you, Mrs. Kemp for including the Bullet Academy children!

Today STEM students from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade participated in the BCIU Keystone Competition! There were 21 teams that participated in the event. Their challenge was to create something that would make PA schools better. Our BULLET THINK TANK team placed 2nd place creating two prototypes of a robotic scanner that would scan for possible allergens in food and on surfaces. If found, the robots would dispose of the food and clean the surfaces making it safe for all. 🤖

WELCOME TO BRANDYWINE!

We're excited to welcome Mrs. Pilgert as our Districtwide Certified School Nurse! With a strong background in nursing education and a passion for student well-being, she is a wonderful addition to our school community. Please join us in giving her a warm Brandywine welcome!

In 3rd Grade Tech, students were learning how to insert and manipulate shapes in Google Slides via layering, recoloring, stretching, and shrinking techniques and keyboard shortcuts to recreate SpongeBob characters. For Kindergarten Tech, Ms. Dirsa’s kids are starting to familiarize themselves with the QWERTY keyboard layout via catching Wario in the act of stealing their keyboard keys. They would write the stolen letter on the Doodle Buddy app.

REMINDER! Early dismissal Friday, December 19th! Car riders will be dismissed at 12:50pm and bus riders/walkers will be dismissed at 1:05pm. 🏫 🔔🚌

The Brandywine Heights Area School District will be operating under a two hour delay. Road conditions, particularly in the higher elevations, have areas where snow has turned to ice and are slippery. A delay will allow additional time to ensure there are safe travel conditions for the opening of school.

❄️ Due to the snow day on Tuesday, December 2, the District will be using Monday, January 19, as our official snow makeup day. School will be in session and follow a regular schedule on that date.

Our BHHS art club needs your help! Voting for 2025 Paint the Plow contest has started and we have a chance to win in our county. It would mean so much to our students, who worked very hard on their design, if you could cast a vote for Brandywine Height High School.

2025 Paint the Plow Voting form-->https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=QSiOQSgB1U2bbEf8Wpob3vze7lBiec9ErgfX2VH3OdlUMlk3SUI3RkdBSVFGNDc2OFlVUkE3SVI0SiQlQCN0PWcu

Paint the Plow is a PennDOT outreach program aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs and student creativity. Participating high school students design and create original artwork on a snowplow that showcases our 2025 Paint the Plow theme: Don’t race. Allow some space.  Our plow submission will be used to plow district roads throughout the winter, so keep an eye out for our artwork.

Thank you all so much. And a big thank you from BHHS Art Club for your votes🙂
