Dear Brandywine Heights Families,
On Wednesday, November 13, the Brandywine Heights Area School District will join people around the globe in celebrating World Kindness Day! This special day is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the power of kindness and to remind one another that even small acts can make a big difference.
Each of our schools has planned meaningful activities to highlight what kindness means to our students and how it can grow throughout our community:
🌱 Elementary School – “Giving Life to Kindness”
Elementary students will bring a Kindness Tree to life in the school cafeteria! Each student will reflect on the prompt “Kindness is…” and share their thoughts by adding a personalized leaf to the tree’s branches. Together, their words will form a beautiful display of compassion and creativity.
✋ Intermediate & Middle School – “Be the ‘I’ in KIND”
Intermediate and Middle School students will “be the ‘I’ in KIND” by adding their handprints to a special backdrop in the IS/MS cafeteria. This interactive display will give every student the chance to leave their mark and celebrate the spirit of kindness with a fun photo opportunity!
💛 High School – “Kindness in Action”
At the High School, all grade levels will come together on the new turf field to form the word “KIND.” A drone photo will capture this powerful image of Kindness in Action as students join in a memorable display of unity and compassion.
(Please note: The photo will be taken prior to BCTC students departing at 10:00 a.m.)
We are so proud of our students and staff for making kindness a cornerstone of our district’s culture. Thank you for your continued support in helping us spread positivity and compassion—today and every day!
With gratitude,
Brandywine Heights Area School District

BHVA Students explored the process of comic strip making. Using heroes they previously designed, students created a short panel strip that tells a brief adventure, joke, or observation. Effective comics combine visual art and concise writing to effectively drive their story from beginning to close. Let the image do the heavy lifting. Every word must advance the plot or deliver the punchline. Students explored why artists also often use limited color palettes; from efficiency of printing, like the use of "Ben-Day Dots", to creating strong compositional emphasis and focal points. Students also looked at styles of bubble types and how speech/thought bubbles and their expressive qualities can add mood and tone to their character's dialogue and action words.
