🐟 Trout in the Classroom Update!
Our little trout are thriving! These fry are now well into their growing stage—developing strong stripes and swimming with confidence. They'll be ready for their release into the wild by the end of May. 🏞️
Thanks to our students for helping raise the next generation of aquatic life—one splash at a time! 🌊
Pre-K (Potteiger) had special visitors today. Two chicks scurried around the students as the class observed their chick behaviors.
In Technology, Ms. Appleman’s class was learning about how variable amounts of detail affect the number of search results on search engines! The kids started by typing up as much as they could of what they saw in the first level of, “New Pokémon Snap.” They then picked their favorite word, searched it via Google, and analyzed the number of search results yielded versus if they added more detail, in addition to their original word.
🛠️ “If you build it…”
Well, we are — and it’s looking good.
From fresh blacktop to towering lights and a scoreboard that’s ready for the spotlight, our stadium project is laying the groundwork for something legendary.
💥 NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES...
Some wear lanyards, rock spreadsheets, wrangle calendars, and somehow answer three phones while returning an email.
They're fast. They're focused. They're the behind-the-scenes warriors who keep the entire District running smoother than a brand-new copier.
🔥 Strength: Knowing the answer before you finish the question
⚡ Weakness: Empty pot of coffee
💪 Special Move: Turning chaos into calm
🎉 Happy Administrative Professionals Day!
You might not wear a cape, but trust us—we see your superpowers.
Happy Earth Day from Brandywine Heights Area School District! 🌱

Bullet Academy Play and Learn - "Arlo Draws an Octopus" theme. The children colored an octopus and used fine motor skills to glue on Cheerios to represent the suckers of an octopus. Thank you to all who attended!

When grant funding for our summer meal program ran out, Friends of Brandywine didn’t miss a beat.
They raised $40,000 (yes, forty thousand!) to keep the program going for the next two years—making sure our kids stay fed and cared for all summer long.
Their support means bellies that might’ve gone empty this summer will be full instead. 💛
This is what community looks like. When one door closes, our people build another—and hold it open for everyone.
We’re so lucky to be part of a place that shows up for its kids.
Thank you, Friends of Brandywine. We’re beyond grateful.
