Before school ended… guess what we released?
Take a closer look 👀
Can you spot what’s hiding in the grass?
🐟 Yes—trout fingerlings! Also called parr, these tiny fish use their stripes (called parr marks) to blend right into their surroundings. Camouflage level: expert.
Good luck out there, little swimmers!

🌼 June Mindfulness Moments 🌞
Summer is a perfect time to slow down, breathe deeply, and be present with the beauty around us. Practicing mindfulness each day, even in small ways, can help children and adults feel more grounded, calm, and connected.
This month, we’re excited to share our June Mindfulness Calendar filled with simple, daily activities like:
🌸 Find a flower outside
🫧 Blow bubbles and watch them float
🌅 Watch the sunset
🧘♀️ Sit and breathe for 5 quiet minutes
These gentle prompts are a great way to build peaceful habits and enjoy the little things together as a family.

Thank you for being part of our story — we wish you the very best in your next chapter. 📖✨
For over 15 years, Dr. Fabian has visited our 4th graders with her annual TAR WARS presentation—teaching the dangers of tobacco, vaping, and hookah.
As part of the lesson, students create posters with positive messages encouraging others to stay tobacco-free.

Thank you, Dr. Fabian, for continuing to make a lasting impact.

🌿 Big shoutout to our 7th grade conservationists!
This winter, they dove into the importance of riparian buffer zones and designed posters that helped shape a brand-new permanent sign—now proudly on display near the stream. It's more than just a sign… it’s a symbol of the meaningful work our students are doing to protect and educate. 💧🪧
📚 The Brandywine Heights Intermediate School Reading Olympics team crushed it at their event last week—winning all three rounds and finishing 2nd in the county overall! 🥈💥
These 14 standout students read way beyond the required list, took detailed notes, and showed up with incredible sportsmanship and focus. We see you, book lovers—and we are so proud. 👏
