BHHS Choirs had a few exciting events last week. Chamber Singers delivered singing valentines on Wednesday, 2/14. Thank you to everyone who supported this fun event, and special thanks to Miss Bechtel for playing bass and mandolin! On Friday, 2/16, seven students participated in LVC Honors Choir at Lebanon Valley College. They spent the day learning brand new music with school students from other high schools, and they performed a wonderful concert in the evening.
Our next featured senior is Sadie Santangini.
Sadie says: I will be majoring in Physical Therapy as my future career. I plan to go to Kutztown University and receive a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Allied Health. After that, I plan to go to DeSales University and get a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in their DPT program.
My favorite BHASD memory would be, having my teachers come to my Nutcracker performance, that was in December. Seeing them walk down the auditorium to greet me after the show was a moment that I would never forget. Those teachers were Mrs. Bleiler, Ms. Stadt, Mrs. Ehrets, Mrs. Paxson, Sra. Warsing, and Mr. Tannous.
I greatly want to thank Mrs. Lambert for deepening my love toward the health field, specifically anatomy. Her way of teaching has pushed me to learn the proper way to study and how to retain that information. Ever since I was in her biology class, during sophomore year, I knew that she was the teacher that would impact my future the greatest. I also want to thank Dr. Graham for helping me improve as an artist and expanding my horizons on the materials used to convey art. Along with that, I want to thank him for deepening my love of dinosaurs and showing me the proper way of drawing them anatomically correct.
Congratulations to our recent #newHEIGHTS award winners, who were recognized at the February school board meeting. Thank you for your continued dedication and support to our BHASD students!
Our next featured senior is Emma Lukenich!
Emma says: My future plans include continuing my education at Millersville University where I will be studying Applied Engineering and Construction Management for the next 4 years.
My favorite memory from BHASD was probably the accomplishments that I have reached within my desired sports including, coming 3rd in the state for wrestling and then becoming district champs in softball the following season. The memories I have made and the bonds that have come from them will always be my favorite.
I would like to say thank you to all my teachers who have helped me in the past 4 years, including Mrs.Kost, Mrs. Greiss, Stadt, and Mrs. Thompson. They have made a great impact on who I am as a person today. From supporting me in sports, to supporting me in the classroom. They forever will be some of the greatest people I have gotten the chance to meet and grow up with.

In the fall I will attend my dream college, Delaware Valley University of Animal Science & Pre-Vet. I will be studying the health, reproduction, and career fields of small & large animals and also livestock management. I plan on moving south and starting my own Veterinarian clinic for both small and large animals
My favorite high school memory was always messing around with the principals and having a great bond with them.
I want to give a big shoutout to Ms. Angstadt for always being there for kids when they needed someone and always putting a smile on my face. Also, another shoutout to our two best principals! They have made me see the brighter side of certain things and always pushed me to do harder even though I never wanted to. I wouldn't be where I am today without them and my family pushing me!!
Please join us in wearing your Brandywine Heights gear this Friday, February 2nd for Districtwide Spirit Day!
