The “Fabulous Five”, a team of 5th grade students traveled to the BCIU and participated in the Keystone Competition. Their challenge was to create something that would make PA schools better. They created “Moptezuma”, which is a combination of a robotic vending machine and robotic cleaner. They wanted to improve lunch time efficiency and help the custodians clean up the cafeteria. The students did an excellent job!

BHASD will be operating under a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning due to icy road conditions from blowing snow and cold temperatures.
The Brandywine Heights Intermediate/Middle School Winter Concerts were a huge success! Our 5th and 6th graders opened the season with an energetic and heartfelt performance, showcasing their growing talent and teamwork. Later, the 7th and 8th graders took the stage a few days later with a polished, dynamic program that highlighted their musical skills and dedication. Both concerts brought festive cheer, proud smiles, and a wonderful celebration of our students’ hard work and creativity. ❄️🎶
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.
❄️☃️The Brandywine Heights Area School District will be CLOSED tomorrow (Tuesday, December 2) due to the forecasted snow and wintry mix. Higher elevations in the District are expected to see increased snow and ice throughout the day.
Because of the long Thanksgiving break, Elementary students do not have devices at home, so a virtual learning day is not possible.

Celebrating Kindness Day Across BHASD!
Thursday our district came together to shine a light on the power of kindness, with each building embracing a unique theme that showcased creativity, connection, and compassion. Elementary students brought a Kindness Tree to life by adding personalized leaves to its branches. Each leaf represented a kind thought, action, or message—growing a beautiful visual reminder of how small acts can make a big impact. Students at the Intermediate & Middle School designed and decorated handprints that are now proudly displayed in the cafeteria. The Be the "I" in Kind mural invites everyone to literally and figuratively stand in the I, reinforcing that each person plays an essential role in spreading kindness. Finally, students at the High School put Kindness into Action and gathered on the turf field for a photo.
Across all grade levels, our students showed what it means to lift each other up and contribute to a community where everyone belongs. Thank you to our staff and students for making Kindness Day meaningful, memorable, and inspiring!
