This year, the Middle School and High School Student Councils joined forces to organize a district-wide Food Drive that began in November and ran through December 8th, 2023.
Student Council members from both MS & HS student council groups organized all donations and then packed beautifully gift-wrapped boxes with these items to be distributed to families as at the Brandywine Food Pantry for the holiday.
Thank you to all families and students who donated items to this initiative. In addition, Thank you to Ms. Schwenk, Ms. Bleiler and all student council members for organizing an amazing way to give back to our community during the season of joy!





If you have a child of preschool age, join Mrs. Acosta for Kindermusik every Monday at BHES beginning January 22nd through and including February 26th (4:30-5:30 p.m.). The class caps at 10 children. Email maraco@bhasd.org to register.

Please use the following link to sign up for a donation time: https://donor.giveapint.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/86454 Your donation not only helps save lives, but the more units we collect, the more money we earn towards scholarships for our seniors.
