Start Your Day with Joy — Music Makes a Difference! 🎶

Did you know a simple melody can elevate your mood, reduce stress, and set a positive tone for the entire day? It’s true! Research shows that music has a powerful impact on our brains and well-being—boosting energy, enhancing focus, and soothing emotions. Let’s jam out to a “September Wake Up Songs” playlist to help start each morning on a bright note. Start the day with a beat—tune in, smile, and rise with rhythm! 🕺🎵

Brandywine Heights, it's almost go time!
The first day of school is August 20th—let’s roll into the year ready to learn, grow, and shine.

🌞 Mindful Moments for August 🌿
As we enter the final month of summer break, it’s the perfect time to slow down, reset, and prepare our minds for the school year ahead. August can be full of mixed emotions—excitement, anxiety, anticipation. This month’s mindfulness calendar offers simple, daily reminders to stay grounded, present, and centered as routines begin to shift.

🗓 Here’s what you can expect:
📌 Gentle daily prompts to help manage transitions
📌 Moments to reflect, breathe, and reconnect
📌 Practices to reduce stress and build resilience before the school year begins
💬 A few examples:
☀️ Aug 2 – Make a paper chain countdown for the start of the school year.
☀️ Aug 6 – Journal: What are you excited for this school year?
☀️ Aug 11 – Practice your morning routine.
☀️ Aug 18 – Charge your Chromebook and get your backpack ready.

Let’s close out summer with presence and purpose.

Each year, we provide a suggested back-to-school supply list for families who are eager to take advantage of seasonal sales. Many families find that purchasing supplies during these sales is more cost-effective than what the District can provide, even through bulk purchasing.
This list is completely optional. We understand that financial situations vary, and no student will ever be expected to bring in supplies or be impacted if they can’t. This is simply an opportunity for those who wish to contribute, every student will have what they need to learn and succeed.

We’ve also worked to ensure that this year’s list is equitable and consistent across classrooms and grade levels. Families should not receive separate or additional lists from individual teachers once school begins. This version represents the final, agreed-upon list for the 2025-26 school year.

You can view the supply list here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ji_dD83InOrgsjbR3kaS1d7AcUjyjfnLXZmCjX9xa-o/edit?tab=t.0

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We’re looking forward to a great year ahead!
