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.

The Middle School’s “Bots to New Heights” FLL Robotics team recently competed in a Regional Qualifying Tournament in Downingtown, PA. Students in this club work as a team to design, build, and program LEGO robots to complete themed missions, while also researching a real-world problem and presenting an innovative solution that demonstrates teamwork, creativity, and core values. The team had a fantastic day and did very well at the competition. They left a positive impression on the judges and earned the “Judges Award”, which gives special recognition to a team showing uniqueness, strong potential, and a solid performance throughout the day.

Role Models for Change

This fall, the Caron Education Alliance group Role Models for Change met for 8 weeks, sharpening their leadership skills and preparing an important presentation: Clear Facts About the Dangers of Vaping.

Many of our participants are active Key Club students, and they had the opportunity to share their knowledge with 7th grade health classes, helping to educate their peers about making healthy choices.

We’re so proud of these student leaders for using their voices to make a positive impact in our school community!

Our BHHS art club needs your help! Voting for 2025 Paint the Plow contest has started and we have a chance to win in our county. It would mean so much to our students, who worked very hard on their design, if you could cast a vote for Brandywine Height High School.

2025 Paint the Plow Voting form-->https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=QSiOQSgB1U2bbEf8Wpob3vze7lBiec9ErgfX2VH3OdlUMlk3SUI3RkdBSVFGNDc2OFlVUkE3SVI0SiQlQCN0PWcu

Paint the Plow is a PennDOT outreach program aimed at promoting winter driving safety and fostering appreciation for high school art programs and student creativity. Participating high school students design and create original artwork on a snowplow that showcases our 2025 Paint the Plow theme: Don’t race. Allow some space.  Our plow submission will be used to plow district roads throughout the winter, so keep an eye out for our artwork.

Thank you all so much. And a big thank you from BHHS Art Club for your votes🙂

❄️☃️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.

An update on after-school and evening activities—including the School Board meeting—will be shared by lunchtime tomorrow.

Stay warm and safe!

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!
