In 7th grade ELA class, students are wrapping up a literature study unit focusing on American author Edgar Allan Poe. To begin our unit, students visited the library to research the life and works of Poe. With Mrs. Peters’ help, students explored various reliable sources to create a Poe Biographical Poster. Finally, students are writing a text-dependent analysis essay for “The Raven,” focusing on the eerie mood of the famous poem.

🏛️ Welcome to the City-State of Ur! 🏛️

Mrs. LeVan’s sixth-grade students traveled back in time to ancient Mesopotamia! Using digital tools and their creativity, students designed and built their own versions of the ancient Sumerian city-state of Ur. They explored what made Ur a successful civilization by incorporating important features such as ziggurats, homes, farms, city walls, and the Euphrates River. Through this hands-on digital project, students brought history to life while developing their technology skills, creativity, and understanding of how early civilizations grew and thrived.

🚨 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.

The District has been in contact with the Pennsylvania State Police regarding this matter and were instructed to have businesses that HAVE FALLEN VICTIM AND HAVE DONATED MONEY to this advertising scam call the non-emergency line at 610-378-4011.


Thank you!
