After reading the book Save Me a Seat, some fourth-grade students were inspired to help prepare and enjoy some Indian cuisine at home. They sampled butter chicken, jasmine rice, naan, naan khatis, and sabzi (also known as sabji and bhaji). None of the students had ever experienced Indian cuisine before, and they all said they enjoyed it.




📣 DON’T FORGET! 📣
Tomorrow is Spirit Day! 🎉
Students and staff are encouraged to wear their BHASD Bullet gear and show off their school spirit!
👕 Friday, November 6 = Spirit Day!

Fourth-grade students will have their third Embryology lesson this week. They have learned how a chicken embryo develops and all of the parts of the egg. They have done scientific illustrations of what the embryos looked like on various stages of development.
On Monday, hopefully, we'll have lots of peeping chicks in our incubators!

On Wednesday October 28, students from Brandywine Heights Intermediate and Middle School competed in the BCIU Keystone Competition. Pennsylvania's STEMATHON-Style Competition Challenges Students from Across the Commonwealth to Solve Authentic Problems. This year's STEM challenge asked students to design a prototype of an innovative solution that would make Pennsylvania's state parks more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Mrs. Levengood’s 5th grade team, the STEM-inators, placed 3rd place out of all Berks County Schools that participated-grades 5-6.

🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
It has come to our attention that there is a company, All-American Publishing/T-shirt company, calling local businesses in the Brandywine Heights community to sell advertising under the false pretense that this is on behalf of the Brandywine Heights Athletic Department, specifically our Assistant to the Athletic Director, Mitch Coll.
Several local businesses let us know that a woman (Christina/Christa) from this company is calling from a 208 area code to ask them for a donation between $295-$600 to have their business logo printed on t-shirts to distribute to our students.
Please note that this company is NOT working with the Brandywine Heights community. This is NOT a fundraiser that the District approved, nor was the school even contacted about partnering with this company.
If you are ever contacted by someone soliciting money to benefit the District, please do not hesitate to reach out to Andrea Hartline, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent/Communications Coordinator, at andhar@bhasd.org or 610-682-5100 x1101.
