BHASD will be operating under a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning due to icy road conditions from blowing snow and cold temperatures.
BHVA Students kicked it up a notch this month and learned about the power of fitness. We discussed the difference between strength, endurance and cardiovascular health and focused on our form as we practiced various stretches and body-weight exercises. We are ready to stay active this winter!
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.

❄️ Due to the snow day on Tuesday, December 2, the District will be using Monday, January 19, as our official snow makeup day. School will be in session and follow a regular schedule on that date.
❄️☃️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.

BHVA Students added several helpful tools to their superhero belts this month. We learned about the power of choice in our response to our emotions and the world around us. We learned about the importance of gratitude and taking time to dwell on what makes us thankful. Then we pulled it all together and learned about Nutrition and how to make healthy food choices, and be thankful for what we have. Students relished the chance to think contemplatively about what we appreciate in life. Our time ended with a chance to decipher nutrition labels and glean clues in an intriguing food based game of Who-done-it!

Virtual Academy Students explored combinations of color and zentangle patterns in art class while taking a mindful moment to reflect on gratitude and thankfulness.
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!
