Yesterday, Tia, Chloe, Jethro, and Asher attended the Youth Leadership Summit hosted by Special Olympics of Pennsylvania. They joined student leaders from schools across the county and beyond to collaborate on ways to promote inclusion and unity. Together, they began planning whole-school engagement events designed to boost inclusivity within our schools and throughout the community. We’re so proud of their leadership and commitment to making our school a more inclusive place for everyone!

🎵 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

SADD Red Ribbon Week was a success! Students Against Destructive Decisions members started the week by tying red ribbons on the trees on our high school campus. Other activites included pledging to make smart choices and trying to assemble puzzles and play games while wearing goggles that simulate being impaired. Sophomores participated in driving impaired and distracted simulations and of course everyone had fun dressing for the spirit week with related themes.

🚗 Students Taking a Stand for Safe Choices! 🚦

Our Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) members participated in a hands-on Impaired and Distracted Driving Simulation this week! Students experienced the real dangers of impaired and distracted driving through specialized simulators and activities using vision-impairing goggles that altered depth perception, balance, and focus.

These activities provided powerful insight into how even small distractions or impairments can have serious consequences behind the wheel. 💡

We’re proud of our students for engaging in meaningful, real-world learning experiences that promote safe, responsible decision-making both on and off the road! 👏
