Snowy days feel like the perfect time to look back. ❄️

As part of our 70th anniversary, and with the help of the Longswamp Township Historical Society, we restored and digitized the only known copy of the District’s original dedication program. It offers a rare glimpse into the planning, pride, and purpose that shaped Brandywine Heights Area School District from the very beginning. Stay warm and take a moment to flip through this piece of our history: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/a17d0147a8.html#page/1
