🎓 Exploring what’s next.
On March 26, Brandywine Heights Area School District students had the opportunity to step into college life with visits to BTI, RACC, and the Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences.
These field trips are part of our ongoing efforts to help students explore higher education pathways, ask questions, and picture their future beyond high school.
Thank you to our hosts for welcoming our students—and to our team for making experiences like this possible!
Please join us tonight for the Brandywine Heights Area School District Education Showcase & Mindfulness Event.
Experience student performances, explore district programs and projects, connect with community business partners, and enjoy raffle prizes for attendees.
A few of the featured vendors include Ott’s Garden, Indigo Moon, Tri Valley YMCA, Downtown Wellness, and Wildlands Conservancy.
District programs on display include Trout in the Classroom, FFA/AG Science, Computer Science, Wood Shop, Engineering, and STEM.
There will also be live music performances by high school students and face painting by the HS Art Club.
And of course—Top of the Hill food truck and the Perk Up Truck will be there too.

Students from Señora Warsing’s Spanish 4 and Señora Shoemaker’s Spanish 3 classes recently enjoyed a performance by the Hispanic Flamenco Ballet in Allentown. Dancers and musical performers from Spain and Latin America put on a show that included various styles of dance, many costume changes, the history of many of the dances presented in Spanish, and dance lessons for a few of our BHHS students.
After enjoying the performance, the students enjoyed lunch at Plaza Azteca. It was a fun day of dancing, good food, and practicing español!
