As part of our 70th anniversary, and with the help of the Longswamp Township Historical Society, we restored and digitized the only known copy of the District’s original dedication program. It offers a rare glimpse into the planning, pride, and purpose that shaped Brandywine Heights Area School District from the very beginning. Stay warm and take a moment to flip through this piece of our history: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/a17d0147a8.html#page/1

Students in Spanish 3 and 4 created a masterpiece based on the artwork “The Flower Carrier” by Diego Rivera. Each student drew and colored a square to make the complete piece. Students in Spanish 1, 2, and 3 learned about Rivera’s life and art. Great work, everyone!

🎄✨ As we head into the holiday break, we want to wish our entire school community a joyful and restful holiday season. Over the past few weeks, our hallways have been filled with creativity and cheer as staff and students brought their classrooms to life through festive door decorating. Our teachers also went above and beyond—hosting classroom celebrations, flipping pancakes, serving homemade hot chocolate, and even joining in on some fun White Elephant gift exchanges. Thank you to everyone who shared their energy, teamwork, and school spirit. Enjoy a well-deserved break—we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Early Dismissal Tomorrow! Please plan ahead—dismissal will follow the adjusted schedule (please see ES for car pick-up/walker times). Thanks for your support and flexibility!

🐾💙 Special Guest in Mental & Emotional Wellness Class! 💙🐾 Our high school students enrolled in Mental and Emotional Wellness had a surprise yesterday—a visit from our therapy dog in training, Gus! 🐶✨ As part of their learning, students explored how serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin affect mood, motivation, and connection. Therapy dogs can naturally help boost these “feel-good” chemicals while providing comfort, connection, and emotional support. Learning about mental health doesn’t have to stay in a textbook—sometimes it has four legs and a wagging tail.

Another successful competition for FBLA members! At Kutztown Universtiy, out of our 23 competitors, 18 placed and 9 are moving on to the state competition! Congratulations to all FBLA members!
