🏆 Celebrating Brandywine Heights Athletic Excellence! 🏆
At the March 3rd Board Meeting, we had the honor of recognizing two outstanding student-athletes for their record-breaking achievements:
🔥 Addison "Turbo" Benner – Girl’s All-Time Leading Scorer (1,282 points)
Addison has officially rewritten history, surpassing a 15-year record set by Deanna Daddona (1,253 points). Her dedication, skill, and relentless drive have set a new standard for Brandywine Heights basketball, inspiring future generations to reach for greatness.
🤼 Jacob Greiss – 100 Career Wins
With 100 career wins under his belt, Jacob has cemented his legacy in Brandywine Heights wrestling history. His grit, determination, and passion for the sport have propelled him to this milestone, making him the 39th wrestler in school history to reach this elite achievement.
Congratulations to Addison and Jacob on their remarkable accomplishments! 👏🎉 #BHASD #GoBullets
🐐💋 Kissing for a Cause
FFA put a fun spin on giving back! Students collected canned goods, dropping them into boxes labeled with their teachers’ names. The catch? The three teachers with the most donations had to kiss a goat!!
Turns out, Mrs. Paxson, Mrs. Bollinger, and Mr. Strohecker were the lucky winners! (Or unlucky, depending on how you feel about goat smooches.)
Huge thanks to everyone who donated—your support made a difference, and the goat didn’t seem to mind the extra attention either! 🥫🐐
🔥 BIG NEWS for Camp Spark! 🔥
Thanks to an incredible $15,000 donation from the Brandywine Heights Education Foundation, Camp Spark is BACK and 100% free for over 100 students this summer! 🎉
Camp Spark is a three-week program for students in grades K-6, blending learning and fun in a camp-like environment. Led by certified teachers, it keeps students engaged, inspired, and ready to shine!
A huge THANK YOU to the Brandywine Heights Education Foundation for making this opportunity possible! 💙
Don't forget to spring forward! ⏰ Set your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday, March 9.

🚨 TWO-HOUR DELAY ALERT 🚨
Brandywine Heights Area School District will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Friday, February 21. ❄️
Road conditions—especially in higher elevations—are snow-covered, deteriorating, and very slippery. This delay allows time for roads to be treated and for safer travel in daylight.
Stay safe and take it slow!
🔎 Flipping the Script on Learning! 🎤
On Friday, over 40 Brandywine students (grades 3-12) took the lead in teaching our teachers! 👏 From coding to middle school life to post-grad plans, students shared their perspectives while educators gained fresh insights.
This unique student-led Professional Development session reinforced the power of hope—a key piece of our Profile of a Learner—and the impact of authentic, career-focused learning. 💡💬
Big thanks to our incredible students for inspiring the future of education!

Enjoy your day off, students, and we’ll see you back in school tomorrow!
