Brandywine Heights Elementary School -

Please join us on Thursday, October 23, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Brandywine Heights Elementary School for our annual PreK-8 Family Literacy and Math Night.

This year, we will host a carnival-themed event with fun reading and math activities, games, and snacks.

We will also conduct our annual Title I Parent Informational Session during this event for parents and guardians of students currently receiving intervention support. This is a great opportunity to get to know our intervention staff and the support available for students this school year. If your child works with an intervention teacher, we recommend attending this event. Your involvement will contribute to the success of your child and the program.

Please RSVP using the QR Code to let us know how many people will be attending. We want to make sure we have snacks for all!

We look forward to working with you and your child to develop their love for reading and math this year! We hope to see you on October 23 at our Learning is a Carnival event!

In music class, the musicians have been working on their beautiful singing voices as well as working on our rhythm by playing the drum!

School Board Meeting this Monday! Join us at 6:00 PM in the Intermediate/Middle School LGI. Your voice matters—stay informed, get involved.

October Math Challenge!   We are excited to bring you another math challenge for October!! All students in Pre-K to Grade 3 are invited to participate! Students will be bringing home a math calendar. Throughout the month of October, we are challenging students to try to solve one math problem each day. Maybe they used the clock to tell the time, perhaps they counted how many plates they needed to set at the table for dinner, or maybe they compared the price of the same item at two different stores. Write the math problem that was solved on the calendar for that day. If 15 or more days are filled in for the month of October, then take the calendar to Potts’ Top Dog to receive a FREE HOT DOG AND ICE CREAM!!!!!   THANK YOU POTTS’ TOP DOG for supporting our students!!   If you have any questions, you can email Mrs. Farina (mailto:laufar@bhasd.org) or Mrs. Levengood (mailto:lynlev@bhasd.org).   

Second round of Fairytale Stem! This week Explore Class engineered a bed for little bear, houses out of consumable and non-consumable materials for the three little pigs, an escape for Rapunzel, and a cage to help Hansel and Gretel catch a witch!

Congratulations to our September Student of the Month winners! We are PROUD of you! 🎉

Congratulations to all students nominated for being Bullet PROUD! You are wonderful role models showing what it is like to be Prepared, Respectful, take Ownership, show Understanding, and Determined! Keep up the great work! 🎉

During Explore each month, students are given the opportunity to answer our Math Question of the Month related to the holiday we are celebrating. Then Mrs. Levengood and Mrs. Farina will choose two winners among the participants. Congratulations to this month’s winners!

Yay, yoga with Miss April! The children listened to a book about dinosaurs doing yoga, shared their own favorite dinosaur poses, and learned to breathe like baby dinosaurs. Thank you Miss April!

Congratulations to this week's Bucket Fillers! Keep up the amazing work! 🪣 🎉
